Brazilian company calls it quits — after swimming pool brouhaha on Thursday

Were the swimming pools made in Guyana?

I guess mosquito breeding grounds are OK with you!

This is how it becomes ok to drive out investors. First you start with the small excuse and then it becomes a crescendo. They are providing stimulus to the economy in the installation and maintenance process.  I believe the pools are also made in Guyana but am not 100% certain. 

The issue is not about mosquito but rather the highlighted, where the PNC have soured the economy and people stop spending, throw in the harassment and the investors will flee.

Did you answer the question about the swimming pools being made in Guyana? If he is merely importing them then how is he an investor? He will only be a retailer.

The fact that he sells only a few pools monthly will suggest that he is a retailer.  Guyana has no shortage of retailers.

Looks like someone refuse to pay a bribe.

Yes, in fact mixing resin and pouring fiberglass to harden over a mesh base is not cutting edge technology and does not provide massive amounts of jobs.  The installation and maintenance is much more value added, as excavators operators and other skilled persons have to be involved in the installation process while the maintenance is an ongoing job. 

Lil lil dutty build dam, how many small businesses like this are you and the PNC driving out? Let them give you some talking points and come back when your paycheck comes in.

I will suggest to you that no manufacturer is going to survive if he is only selling 4 of his products monthly, which is what he was doing before City Council acted.

It is clear that this is a retailer, most likely importing products from Brazil. In which case who cares if he leaves.

This is how you drive out investors, Chinese, Barama and not the Brazilians; "who cares if he leaves". PNC que que logic.  When does it stop?

The WB was going based on technical indicators, not underlying reality.

Caribbeanj is right in a sense.  Guyana does not need retail. Because of the small population it needs very good small scale manufacturing.  That is how Beharry ,Ricks/ Sari and others developed. The retail should be for the local people. These countries like India, China and Brazil are engaged in primitive capitalism. They are all hiding their manufacturing secrets so as to protect their markets.
