caribny posted:Baseman posted:Guyana’s 83k landmass is meaningless if there is no economic and social policies to ensure people can access it.There was a program on Discovery channel called Gold Rush. What is evident is that in vast swathes of Guyana finding food is a huge challenge. The climate is severe and the earth isn't fertile. Infrastructure is nonexistent.
The fact remains that most of Guyana has value only to extract resources and maybe as eco/adventure sites. The coast, the intermediate savannahs and maybe parts of the Rupununi are the only areas where viable agriculture can be pursued.
So we need to stop this nonsense about vast acreages. Even gold extraction is reaching the point where only the larger miners can earn a decent living. The smaller ones left to eke out an existence.
And how is this accomplished and who pays? Alyuh PNCites assaulted and bruk up everything and expect to have it? You don't kill the goose and then expect more eggs!
