Don't you realize that it has become ridiculously high to take a 20 to 30 to 40 - 60 minute air trip to our neighbouring Caribbean Islands? Years ago it was much more affordable!
When last have you travelled to a Caribbean Island? Some ticket prices are so high that instead of going to a Caribbean Island, I take American Airlines and go to a US state for just a few more dollars.
It doesn't have to be that way anymore -I will change that as Prime Minister. I will fight to bring down the cost of inter-island travel.
We have the power! We can start a Caribbean Travel Cooperative. Here's my idea - if we get 20,000 people to buy $50 worth of shares, we would raise 1 Million dollars per island. If we get 10 Caribbean countries on board - that would be 10 Million dollars. This would be more than enough to buy a few ferries that travel between the islands DAILY or even 2 aircrafts as a start and have some working Capital to HIRE those from our cooperative ONLY who invested therefore Creating Jobs.
Everyone would have equal rights. You won't be allowed to invest more than $50 unless everyone can invest that amount. No one would own more than anyone. (Of course - I'm a youth mind and governments and countries aren't listening to the young innovative minds, so I just have to sit here and WRITE in hopes that someone would listen)
Wouldn't you feel better buying a ticket to travel on a Caribbean Ferry or Caribbean Airline that you own - that you have shares in? Won't you encourage your friends and family to do the same? We won't need to advertise alot, with at least 200,000 owning shares and talking about their Caribbean Travel Company, we would bring down the costs of travel, break LIAT's monopoly and killer prices.
Caribbean people are TOOOOOO laid back. Why do you think LIAT is probably laughing after us as we continue to PAY HIGH PRICES when they know if we join together, they'll go out of business within 6 months or less.
As Prime Minister, of course I would be concerned about our company profiting, but not about KILLING POOR PEOPLE with high travel prices.
Look at it - Some of our Caribbean Government have shares in LIAT - Do we taste of the PROFITS - if they are making any at all? How do we know that LIAT isn't running at a LOSS and our TAX DOLLARS are paying for an AIRLINE that is losing. We don't know - but yet we hear that Caribbean Countries Own it.
If you help start our own Caribbean Ferry and Airlines - You'll know EVERYTHING because your money would be in it. Imagine the MOVEMENT of Caribbean people if they just want to take a ferry to a neighbouring Caribbean Island. The ferry of course would be cheaper than our plane, but both would be affordable.
I wonder if you catch my EXCITEMENT?
With Talks of CSME - Caribbean Single Market Economy, I am surprised that I am not hearing Caribbean governments overly talking about CHEAPER TRAVEL. I guess because they have shares in LIAT. They tied the hands of REDJET. That was a private company. THEY CANNOT TIE OUR HANDS FROM STARTING AND GETTING LICENCES TO TRAVEL TO EVERY CARIBBEAN COUNTRY.
THEY CANNOT TIE OUR HANDS IF WE DECIDE TO JOIN OUR $50s TOGETHER TO START A COOPERATIVE. Let's Stop Talking and Act.
If they try to STOP US - WE WILL PEACEFULLY DEMONSTRATE and SHUT DOWN OUR CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES until we get what we want.
WE HAVE THE POWER!
As Prime Minsiter Let's Start Our Own Caribbean Airline or Caribbean Boat Ferry - LIAT PRICES ARE TOO HIGH!
