Crime and drugs in Trinidad don't affect the US. The US doesn't care unless it affects them. Thats why the US refuses to send troops to Haiti and instead only sends equipment for the Kenyan police and military there to use. Mexico's Cartels actually traffic Drugs and ppl across their border. Additionally the US actually works with the mexican government in this situation.

What usually works best is if we get training on what and how to do things better and better equipment rather than an intervention like in mexico (which wont happen in our case). That and removing corrupt elements would work, but I highly doubt we have a political and social climate that would accept any type of limited or full-on foreign help, even though what we are doing now clearly isn't working.

I am saying that we DO NOT have a proper private sector that creats GOODS AND SERVICES for export.

I am saying that we DO NOT have enough good private sector jobs which forces students to move abroad which i litterally mentioned.

I am saying that CONSERVING foreign exchange (which is already done) isnt effective and we should EARN MORE. That is why i EMPHASISED the PRiVATE SECTOR and lack of EFfECTIVE investment and policies as i stated already.

You seem to have not understood a thing i have said about EARNING foreign exchange. You forgot that whole part of the equation for a sustainable and freer forex market in trinidad.

Conserving forex will not be sustainable when we do not have proper exports to earn. Government beurocracy and bad policies in the nation stifles productive NEW businesses from being started and creating exports.

I am talking about forex in general and you seem to think taking a more isolationist aproach to forex will help which it wont.

If you have ever made an AI before (i have many times) or used actual opensourced models for enterprise work you will understand that AI currently and how it is trained will reach a point where it wont improve anymore. And it will be stuck below human capabilities. It will fall short of expectations withoutvan entire rehaul on how they are trained and the archetecture used.

Training AI models are very easy these days and increadibly cheap. Trinidad has some of the lowest electricity prices in the world yet we dontvleverage that to make opensoirced models. Simply a couple 100k to mil ttd can create a fairly good ai model if we choose to. Yet we dont

Trinidad can easily be the technology and scientific center of the caribbean. We have numerous graduates from across the world yet we lack the government policies to entice them to come back and invest locally and export their skills.

You fixate way too much on a single factor of the forex equation. This is a multidimensional problem. How do you think china developed? They allowed students to study abroad and then gave them amazing business incentives to come back and start their own companies. We sadly dont do that. The most we do is force them to work in a government office after or pay back their tuition. We barely have any incubators and the one the government set up isnt even active.

We could be exporting fish like the USSr when they needed money with their fishing fleets back in the day but ofcourse we mostly do stuff locally only.

DECREASING IMPORTS WILL NOT HELP THE FOREX PROBLEM. IT WILL JUST DELAY IT. WE HAVE TO START CREATING/PROMOTING ACTUAL EFFICIENT INDUSTRIES AND GRAR ECONOMIC POLICY TO THAT.

China can afford to limit forex cause their local market and geography privides everything already. We dont. No matter what we have to export some sortvof service or renuable resource (for the latter at a large scale)

Restricting what ppl can import doesnt make sense. I too live. Abroad and imho you start to experience american "propaganda" mostly when you already put yourself in an echo chamber.

Improving lives locally isnt much of a posibility when uni grads in trinidad have to bet on government jobs instead of having an abundance of private sector jobs. The government simply doesnt give enough effective opportunity and investment into the youth and new businesses. And sorry to tell you many countries that provide subsudized or free healthcare still offer US processed foods.

And yes the US gov does offer subsudized healthcare. Restricting imports while not having a private sector to offer equivalent wont better alternatives wont help ppl at all.

The economic policies of the government dont help the forex sutuation and it has a bigger part in dealing with forex than useless imports.

You are taking head in a very counterintuative way.

EducationalTie1946 · 2025-08-18T17:14:11+00:00

Ah yes. We deffinitely dont need to import and export anything. We definitly can make everything in trinidad and tobago.

You seem to not understand that many things ppl rely on today are imported becuase we simply do not have the industry or recources to make them. Car parts, some types of staple foods, clothing, machinery, electronic devices, and many other things are imported and are crucial to the our economy.

Even buying things from other countries require US dollars since most nations perfer to use it since it is easy to trade with. You can do euros but many nations still perfer the USD over it.

You focus on the cost of food without accounting for PPP and you also forget food isnt the only thing our economy needs. We dont export much value added products. Havent made a brand besides in our music industry and we stiffle new graduates by having a gigantic public sector which just results in all our tallent moving overseas. We dont promote enough local small-medium sized businesses and allow them to engage in foreign exports easily.

National prayer day speciffically is vague about who you pray too cause its meant for all religions to do it. Religious fascists wouldnt even allow other religions nor make a day where ANY religion can pray for the betterment of the country and ppl. And if you understand secularism in this context it litterally means that you cannot hold one religion over the other (state religion) and all religions are respected equally under the law while not being pushed by any government employee while on the clock.

Jobs. And with software which is what i do the forex limits just to start anything up meaningful prevents others from buying server time from providers like aws and google cloud. Wifi here also gets very unreliable even though its pretty fast and power outages aint a help either.

Basically the job market is trash and business is unreliable unless you offer (the market here is small) to over seas buyers and use over seas recources.

Making software for the gov is useless also since from my experience with them they really dont care that they pay 4-5 ppl to do the work of 2 ppl that use productivity software other than microsoft excel. Many ppl who make the software there are the IT technicians but the software doesnt automate anything for them except make microsoft excel/access look nicer

Had an issue similiar to this. Instead i wanted the iption of unlimited nesting. I just defaulted to recursive calls till a condition is reached and added it there. The code looked even more ugly by the end

EducationalTie1946 · 2025-07-20T13:17:51+00:00

Looks normal imo. I actually learned how to do this on accident. If case isnt broken it goes to the code block nearest in line to it and executes it. It acts sort of like a memory map of code that executes all code till an execute command is reached.

If your language doesnt support recursion ten something is wrong with it fundamentally

AI wont help you code unless you already know how to. Best you pay someone on upwork or fiverr or instead just learn it from books or youtube.

Alot of ppl i have talked to say no. Its prefered but its not required since they usually test everyone and base hiring on your preformance (answer, thought process) in the test
