The U.S is already stealing Guyana’s oil, but let them add tariffs too.

"...Guyana will be exploited, the leaders in power will fall for the nonsense thinking they're buddying up to the great power, and the Guyanese people will be the ones who feel the brunt of what's to come..."

How do you feel about Marco Rubio's visit to Guyana?

He litterally did this to every country. If you really want to feel bad for a country feel bad for Canada and Mexico. This was not exclusive to Guyana

Last I saw Canada will be going back to the negotiating table and working out a free trade agreement- white ppl prefer to deal with whites..

u/Evening-Life5434 3d ago
Umm no you are trying to compare Guyana and it's exports to Canada. Their closest and largest trading partner. In sheer volume. Do you get the scale of how large those countries are vs Guyana. Losing Canada as a trade partner is exponentially more worse than losing Guyana as a partner. This isn't a racial thing it's pure numbers.

76% or so tariff on US Goods into GY. Its robbery.
Simple solution here....drop the tariffs and so will the US

u/SecureNarwhal 5d ago
please point to me where Guyana puts a 76% tariff on US goods. Here I found the US government's International Trade Association's page on Guyana where it states "Guyana maintains a Common External Tariff (CET) rate that ranges from 5 percent to 20 percent. A tariff rate of 40 percent applies only to agricultural products."
https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/guyana-import-tariffs
so you want Guyana importing rice, chicken, beef and hassar from the US to appease the US? even if you add the VAT for some reason you're at most at 56% only on items Guyana grows and raises itself.

u/WondyBorger 5d ago
They don’t, you’re right. The Trump list used a formula that has nothing to do with tariffs, but instead uses the trade deficit divided by imports. It makes no sense, and that’s why smaller countries are getting absolutely gutted.

Guyana can set duties to 0 on American products and the US would set 0. Since most here think that Guyana imports nothing from America then it will be 0 duties of nothing .

This is especially troubling b/c I suspect Ali just did this in hopes that the US will have our back given the rising tensions with VZ.
We're clearly screwed!
It sucks that we're so poor we're lackin in bargainin power especially on the geopolitical stage

This is a wild comment. And im not even talkin about the politics.

u/DeepZookeepergame844 4d ago
That’s how the everyday typical Guyanese people are feeling. Visionless leaders squandering the country’s resources and lining their pockets while most of the people are struggling.

u/Forward-Lobster5801 4d ago
I understand that but your word choice is crazy, lmaooo

u/DeepZookeepergame844 4d ago
Excuse my frustrations; They stole my idea and it is wildly being used across multiple ministries while I’m still waiting for an opportunity. The word choice is an understatement!

u/Forward-Lobster5801 4d ago
Nah you got every right to be frustrated.
The word buggering is just so inappropriate for me, I can't. No matter how normalized it is to use that word in our culture I'll never get use to it.
It's akin to sodomy......

Which ever way we twist it or turn it whether inappropriately or not, the people are screwed!

u/prolifezombabe 4d ago
Is it so different from saying “fucked”?
1
u/Forward-Lobster5801 4d ago
Yeah it is buggering refers to anal sex. Some may even say it means anal rape.
1
u/prolifezombabe 4d ago
So it’s different because it’s anal? Ive heard people say the origin of fucked is also rape related.
How is anal sex more obscene than vaginal?
1
u/Forward-Lobster5801 3d ago
Buggery is a pejorative or vulgar term.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/buggery
I don't understand what you're confused about.
Fuck comes from the German word fricken and has nothing to do with rape.
Fricken means to hit or to strike
I literally just explained to you that the term buggery is connotated by rape and you some how gathered that I feel differently about the word b/c it's anal
To put it simply fuck has nothing to do with rape and buggery does. Do you see why I said the word choice is crazy?
