Guyanese are their own worse enemy.  They have an appetite for foreign items and don't support local products. Look how slop can boy was bragging about burger king the other day.  

Any imported item that can be produced locally at a similar quality or better should be either banned or taxed so heavily that the locals are forced to buy local. Mind you, the same people supporting buy local will at the drop of a hat do a 180 and shout racism and how the government is punishing people if implemented by the current government.

Burnham tried that but it was a failure, people will not respond to a boot on their heads. It has to be awareness for the common good and pride in buying local. Today Guyanese scorn local products. They would rather open a pack of kool aid and mix with water rather than squeeze two orange.  

In the US ever so often we scream the same whenever the economy is in trouble, "buy local". Then when the economy picks up, its back to foreign products. 

As usual, you are running around in circles, tripping over your own contradictions.

What's the point?
