Case in point…
When Cable and Wireless ruled the roose….starting way back in the 1950’s ..there was not a fella to stop the reapin of hefty profits on telephone users in BIM. I recall $20 was the monthly charge and Bajans were lining up like Dorthy.. just to chat about Doug n Julie and Days of Our Lives….a real monopoly…Hundreds of Millions…Billions even were being repatriated to the motherland…I also recall the Giles Strike …it went on for months…when workers ask for a lil mo money….real capitalist to the bone..
From all understanding there were minimum operational cost….talking on a land line…..hefty revenues to be had

Nowadays…C&W now LIME….meet Digicel… 60 years of monopoly rule dun….them REAL VEXX DEN…don’t want to fix your phone…firing people left n right…So what about the days when tings were sweet…dont they count? Like it is all Take….

I think this is relevant, does anyone know how the fair trading thingy works? does one have to complain to them first for them to do something or do they actively work to produce better conditions for the customer. eg. when digi cell change there internet rate up by about 20% with out saying nutting, no one did anything and it remains so to this date.

Or how come courts can take a bill to them in put on intris of %400 percent then send you court for it. for substandard shit at that.

or how all companies buy things in packages for one price, brake down the package and then charge you extra for what they get free, EG. buying a whole cell phone then taking it out the box and selling you the charger and head phones separate.

Note to PDC these are the kinda fights you need to take up NOW if you wanna get teck serious and now is the time cause the people dun wid DLP/BLP. and it may sound stupid but if wanna get see doing these things now wanna could win bout 3 seats next round.

The factology being that money is NOT a unit of account ( goods and services do not carry any money costs – inherent or otherwise – the nature of money’s circulation leaves it for data and information about such to be the source of accounting in businesses and families and other social institutions (not money)) helps make irrefutably strong the argument that nominal remunerations/revenues/costs/expenditures/debts/debits/credits are only a reflection of the extent of potential possible use of money by whomsoever, for whatsoever purposes in the commercial business social world.

Sad to say though, it is these false premises ( eg Money is a unit of account) that those same very philosophers, theorists, economists, accountists have over the years been using to help perpetrate this false, fictitious, fraudulent ideology, philosophy and psychology of PROFIT (LOSS) – which just like remunerations, revenues, costs, expenditures, debts, debits, credits – is NOT money.

However because of the lack of space and time we will only write, for now, another fundamental part of our thesis: why PROFIT is an illusion, and there are 4 reasons why:

1) However one uses money in relationship to income, revenues, ncosts, expenditures, etc and vice-a-versa, these money denominations were already in existence. Therefore, NO PROFIT or LOSS was (sic) made or could ever have been (sic) made during whatever commercial business transactions;

2) There is NO correlationship between, say, a twenty dollar bill that was used by a person to ultimately get use of, say, a textbook from another person, and the money 2 twenty dollar bills or 1 ten dollar bill that the person who had had the textbook but later used it to get the same 2 twenty dollar bills or 1 ten dollar bill from another who ended up with the text book. So there is no PROFIT OR LOSS involved as some persons may erroneously wrongly think!! Anything very logical mathematical that suggests otherwise is dysfunctional dangerous truth reasoning mathematics!!

3) There was no measurement of this mythical PROFIT at all – just false fictitious fraudulent calculations juxtapositions based on a person’s corporate’s use of money to ultimately get ownership or possession/use of some commodities services to serve whatsoever purposes, or the use of commodities or services to ultimately get use of money from the respective others who wish use of money.

4) There is no objective standard in place in any known place in the world that supports the notion of PROFIT/LOSS – like a properly functioning scale measuring the weight of potatoes. Moreover, income must always for a long time past, present, future compare or contrast with income, and expenditure must also in a similar manner compare or contrast with expenditure on a similarly mentally intellectually structured basis – per day, per week, per month, per year, etc. – not by expenditure being taken from income, etc.

Anyhow, we will conclude by saying that this crazy notion of PROFIT/LOSS has been established, esp unintentionally unwittingly by many peoples across many parts of this world to get, to influence many other people, and themselves included, into pursuing these illusory non-existent profits via the carrying out of business and commerce in their respective societies, and to therefrom contribute to the social cultural development or dedevelopment of their own and other societies and in very direct and indirect ways.

What is very ironic about this though, is that, it is money that these people greatly use, along with the other commodities and resources they greatly use too in the commercial business arena, to help bring about such social developments or dedevelopments – the former of which is primarily a result of the proper uses of money by esp the productive sectors of people of those societies and in spite of the latter at some times – and the latter of which is primarily a result of the limitations of the use of money by esp governments and financial institutions, which inevitably through the use of those very backward financial and monetary policies ( interest rate policies, the putting into the relevant financial institutions equivalent amounts of money to what they would have got originally, or have been able to access originally spasmodically for others doing things for them from these institutions) see greater and greater amounts of monies being taken out of circulation (Barbados, many countries of Europe).

Old Onions, you killing me………the only insurance Bajans need is to go back to hiding their few dollars by whatever means necessary so they can pick it up when they need it, instead of giving the insurance companies and banks free rein over their financially future and when there is economic distress world wide the large countries freeze, swoop in and scoop up to aid in economic recovery……………the people paying in all this insurance premium money every month for money they will never get back have the power to crash these greedy and utterly dishonest monopolies.

Where can I buy whatever drugs the PDC are on?

And what about this “thing” called golbalisation … suppose to help the third world countries now what we have are the third and fourth generations of the greedy and selfish whoremongers in continuing what their parents left off by robbing the gullible poor………..Globalisation in every home across the contintent the rich get richer and the poor …well who cares

The two personalities behind the pseudonyms, Yagga Rowe and St. George’s Dragon, would have to be the stupidest, most duncy of dolts and the foolishest, most dim-witted of intellectual vagrants that could ever possibly be found confusing, creating mischief and devaluing an otherwise essentially progressive blogsite like BU, with the miasmatic foolishness they individually sought to respond to our posts with .

And not only such but also they would have to be most virulent most demented and raving mad of persons to have ever contributed to this blogsite in the entire history of our posting and blogging on this website.

So, rather than deal with the very substantial cosmological ontological issues and matters that we would have put forward in our contribution – and which point to current and historical social and developmental problems affecting all people in Barbados – including they themselves – they preferred to expose the worst typology of ignorance and atrophying of the brain that are only known to imbeciles and morons in the context of one of the most serious and progressive discourses that the PDC has ever attempted on this blogsite.

In other cases we would not have been minded to respond to such inconsequential characters, but as we write this piece in response to this pair of incorrigble deceits, our country stands to loose more and more intellectually politically developmentally, when idiots like these seek to and do ape the reckless childish behaviour of those who they intellectually politically support in Barbados, and at such a time when the country remains faced with stark total decay and ruin in many of its social political material and financial affairs, the same persons that they are aping seek to down play obfuscate the otherwise sustainable properly thought out well rendered intellectual social political efforts of more solid and serious individuals in Barbados and to the worsening peril of the broad masses and middle classes of the country.

Surely these two people’s ploys will fail on this blog site as well as those of the people that they are following in Barbados, eventually.

What is also very reproachable about those two little typists is that it can be seen that none of the two of them have been among those few people over the years in Barbados that have been promoting the right type of root and branch ideological political material and financial change for this country and for the better, and now that the time has come for Barbadians to have a better more precise understanding of the underlying subterranean ideological political material and financial bases and compositions of many of this country’s problems, they – these two numbskills – are ostensibly failing to seize the moment and to easily connect the dots as any serious student schooled in post-modernist principles would so do.

What a flagrant wasting of the opportunities for greater education and enlightenment that the Right Excellent Errol Barrow and so many others did so much years ago to provide for the underprivileged and the marginalized in this country then on the assumption that when many of them reached the stage of grown ups like those two jack o lanterns they would have proven that they would have made the most of them and as Marx was reported to have said not just to interpret history but to change it.

But what a most shocking and terrible waste of time too!!!

@readydone

The FTC is suppose to champion what is just both both sides; the legislation equips it to do so.

Well you know i does hit google before i talk, i check the ftc site but all i see is them deal wid telecommunications, dont seem like that make a very big impact on what is going on in my empty pocket.

Ok so i want a 400x digital microscope to look at the bacteria in my soil and aerated compost teas, but they are only sold overseas/through the internet, i don’t have a credit card (hate banks) now i went scotia ask if i could get a debit card and was told ok. I can have a card with a limit of min $2000 but i have to put said amount on the account as a “in case i don’t pay” i said no problem, pull out the money, the teller said, nope, i also have to got 2 sureties, WTF!!. I don’t think this is right i think its a big hindrance to the people of Barbados. Am i being unreasonable? and these banks is charge ya for everything, sooooo that being said, you think that the FTC would deal wid something from that point.

I mean its the bank and them could do what they like with there own business, but from a ethical stand point that is stupid backwards covetious thinking. But would/could the FTC do something about that?

What ethics. don,t get it twisted! Boy! you work for the bank the bank don.t work for you

I have to agree with the leader of the opposition’s, Mottley, comments in today’s barbadostoday.bb, as some of us have been saying since the boasting and bragging after the buy election, both parties need to sit together and put all their plans on paper together, come up with the most viable and original ideas that can move the country forward, clearly the DLP are unable for one reason or another to do it alone, they are way out of their depth; instead of Sinckler calling for the opposition to put their ideas on paper and hand it over to him so he in his childish manner can take the credit, why not put all your heads together and develop one paper that would move the country forward……………they still don’t get it, the majority, which are their own people are the ones who will suffer the most, why is it so hard for them to understand??, this is elementary deductions.

I need to explain further, showing us that they need all the help they can get from everyone including the opposition to get things moving again on the island will present the DLP in a more favorably light and show us the maturity that is seriously lacking in both parties. Only a mature individual can reach out to the opposition for the good of the country.

In addition, i am glad to see the DLP belatedly, but finally admitting that the country is in dire financial straits and they are unable to come up with the final solution by themselves..”

Are you that sure the DLP and its MoF are doing what you are claiming they have done?
Listening to the debate in Parliament yesterday that impression was not conveyed at all. What we got from the buffoon was a gorilla portion of arrogance, lies and veiled threats of serious restructuring needed because of the Opposition BLP’s failure to offer alternatives and proposals to cut expenditure.

We can dismiss Kellman the clown but the serious idiot calling himself the MoF seems incapable of appreciating that the people re-elected the DLP to “GOVERN” and not to moan. The ideas and techniques to govern to pull this country out of its current situation were clearly outlined in the DLP’s manifesto which were swallowed by a ‘bought’ electorate and endorsed in the Throne speech.
Stop finding excuses for this lying arrogant lot. When they genuinely and remorsefully confess and tell the truth we should then be prepared to assist and facilitate them on the journey geared at putting this country back to economic recovery and social stability.

Despite the perilous situation this country faces this Parliament can still find time to abuse the luxury of going on long periods of recess. They have just returned on May 7th from an extended 6 week break just after general elections and the Estimates. But just only after 2 sittings these parasitic abusers of the electorate have the unmitigated gall to go on another extended 4 weeks break with serious legislation affecting the economic survival of the country being once again postponed and delayed.
When is this parliament going to deal with the BL&P Amendment Bill to facilitate the advancement of the alternative energy movement? What about the Cultural Industries Bill?
How about the concomitant pieces of legislation (FoI) needed to make Integrity Legislation a really effective pillar of our democracy?
Or are we dealing with an unsafe weakly poised administration so afraid of its own shadow that any time ministers are expected to go overseas of their scheduled annual jaunts and big living excursions Parliament has to go in recess to accommodate their absence?

one of greatest myth of all time isThat if we all live within our means our chances for financial success is better. what does that mean ? and how can that be possible if the Underclass in society is only allowed a certain amount of financial freedom shaped and designed by a captalist system…

David@ Yes , i have also post MONEY MASTERS BEFORE , BASE ON THE COMMENTS , IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE CAN FIND THE TIME TO WATCH IT IN FULL . IF SO MOST WOULD THINK VERY HARD BEFORE TYPING WHAT THEY DO AND SAY.
