A lot of the inflation with the prices is greed in Jamaica. When they see the same people buying the same stuff over and over they tend to raise the prices. The problem with that is they raise the price too much and you might as well bring it in and pay the taxes. It may be cheaper.

Why does it take so long to approve the plan at Parish Council. This needs to be highlighted so it stop. Ja people we need to know that the workers in government are paid handsomely per month and they should work speedily to serve the people of Jamaica. Enough is enough and we should not be waiting so long to get things done in Jamaica anymore.
@Yaniquesdiary Ай бұрын
Nadine my husband and friends talk about it all the time. It’s key to note that it’s everything that has to do with the government that takes forever to get done. We don’t know if it’s the staff, lack of proper systems or both that causes all the backlog.
@nadinebeckford3340 Ай бұрын
@@Yaniquesdiary It is caused by that and accountability where the public sector workers are not audited for their work output. The true to be told it is not only the elected officials ( Prime Minister, Member of Parliaments and Councillors) who are corrupt but we the people as well. For change to happen we are to change. When I do business with government I find out the standard first and hold them to the standard. I am not afraid to sit in any government office and count how many breaks the person is taking before they work on my matter. I am not afraid to report them to the MP who is in charge of that department of government. Once they know the people are serious they will do better.

You are correct about the workmanship & the skill of the people you hire. Not to mention the ethics or lack of it. So sad that young people are not interested in the trades. These are skills that will payoff in the long run. Some don't want to get dirty.hands, but ok with bruk pocket.

@@Yaniquesdiary When I start building my own home (the other is a rental property), I will insist on pre-made steps or that they make the steps like yours. Some builders in Ghana have trouble with stairs, sometimes they are uneven, especially the first or the last step.
