The lack of details of what exactly are the opportunities. He talking about taxi drivers and hospitality, this is for what? Oil tourism of a few visiting Exxon head honchos? Let us fact the facts, the oil will never see the shores of Guyana, it will be put in tankers and head for overseas refineries. No refinery in Guyana.
A brand new, powerful industry has reached Guyana and you don't understand what opportunities that will open for Guyana? You think that only a few visiting Exxon head honchos will work the rigs? Did you make the Rat aware of this when he invited Exxon to Guyana to dig for oil or were you not against oil exploration at that time?
Siphoning of Guyana's oil and paying two jills per barrel.
I dislike that arrangement as much as you. I may be wrong but I think the problem is Guyana was in no position of strength to negotiate. However, the impact on Guyana of the activity cannot be ignored. How much real estate in Guyana has Exxon already invested in and why? How many businesses have already sprung up in Guyana to provide support and why?
