This inept woman is scaling new heights in incompetency. At a time, when TT lack a real opposition party and leadership is critical, she simply can only spew hate, attempt to resurrect the anti-black racial bogeyman and her tasteless attempt to bait the Hindu community into believing they are discriminated against.

All if it are falling flat, she then recently once again sought to invite Trump to place sanctions in Trinidad for PM Rowley bilateral agreement with neighbor Venezuela. Recall, she so wanted the deal to fail, she penned a letter to former President Biden, inviting him in clear language to sanctioned Trinidad.

Now, her own MP's are leaving the party.

KAMLA'S STINK AND DUTTY

....

Has the opposition in the past 10 years failed the citizens? Did they run the political legacy?
They have no power in Parliament.

Why not focus on Keith Rowley's legacy of failures in T&T as he leaves?

Refute the facts in that link instead of racist sentiments poverty is now at 38%. You claim to be a man of God?evil

I did not make those comments- read the article I attached, you see thar her own party and members of the Hindu community are the ones who are rightly calling her out.

You are better than that man!

"Implicit bias refers to the unconscious preferences that people hold towards certain groups, often shaped by societal stereotypes and racism. These racial biases are not consciously chosen, but they can still influence perceptions, judgments, and behaviors."

Refute the facts in that link instead of racist sentiments poverty is now at 38%.

Will someone please refer this individual to a link with remedial classes in elementary math. This is assuming he has attended school at some point (he can at least cut and paste)!

From his link, here is the "statistic" he quotes to say that 38% of people in Trinidad live in poverty:

... Based on these estimates, 0.6 percent of the population in Trinidad and Tobago (10 thousand people
in 2021) is multidimensionally poor, while an additional 3.7 percent is classified as vulnerable to multidimensional poverty (56 thousand people in 2021). The intensity of deprivations in Trinidad andTobago's average deprivation score among people living in multidimensional poverty is 38.0 percent.

So the actual firgue quoted is 0.6% poverty with a further 3.7% vulnerable to md poverty. But he uses a percentage score of the 0.6% (38%) to refer to the entire population.
This is the type of subterfuge and nonsense these UNC agents employ daily to try and fool who they consider to be the "inferior" class of citizens, who according to them are eating grass and doomed unless they are put in to office.

Please note that individuals politically aligned to the Trinidad and Tobago UNC opposition party have in their employ, a significant number of operatives, many of whom are paid, to disseminate biased opinions often disguised as facts and seemingly from authoritative sources.
These are usually opinions disseminated by other paid bloggers and letter-writers to the various daily newspapers. The primary aim is to target the political leader of the ruling party and to portray the country as a failed state that they alone can resuscitate.

...please stop stalking me and get a life

This poster above needs to complete his high school diploma...
He has no comprehension of economics.
I receive no monetary compensation, nor do I belong to any political parties in T&T

A multidimensional poverty rate of 38% means that 38% of a population is deprived in at least one third of the weighted indicators used to measure multidimensional poverty. This is a poverty cutoff point used in some Multidimensional Poverty Indices (MPI). An index that measures the percentage of households in a country deprived along three dimensions –monetary poverty, education, and basic infrastructure services – to capture a more complete picture of poverty.
Multidimensional poverty is a broader concept than monetary poverty and includes a range of deprivations in health, education, and living standards. These deprivations can include lack of access to healthcare, food, water, and energy.

No! Nah, nah man, say it isn’t so!
You claim to have businesses yet you appear both illiterate and innumerate? Can you do anything beyond cut and paste? Surely along the way, you must have learned to read and interpret the most basic statistical data. Even if you aren’t familiar with what some of the measures represent you should at least be familiar with how percentages work!

You say 38% is the poverty rate in Trinidad and Tobago. (The veracity of this should immediately raise some alarm bells).
Getting in to the weeds, you don't have to go far.
Your quoted source says:
0.6 percent of the population in Trinidad and Tobago is multidimensionally poor… i.e. a multidimensional poverty rate of 0.6%

it then goes on to say
The intensity of deprivations in Trinidad and Tobago's average deprivation score among people living in multidimensional poverty is 38.0 percent.
in other words … Of the 0.6% classified as living in multidimensional poverty, the deprivation score overall is 38%. So, the poverty rate is 0.6% and within that 0.6 % there is a score that determines in how many areas poverty can be attributed.

In T&T that score or index is 0.38 or 38%. This means that of the 0.6% that experience multi-dimensional poverty, the average degree of poverty experienced is 38% of areas measured, such as education, health, overall living standards. The higher the intensity, the more severe the overall deprivation is for those considered poor. This does not mean 38% of people experience poverty!
Do you comprehend the nosnense of your conclusion?

Most likely, Errol and the propaganda scribes provided you and the other low level operatives like yourself the link to the stats, but then added the interpretation that 38% of people in T&T live in poverty!! It then becomes UNC gospel.

You need to stop trying so hard. Perhaps you should try and determine what % of readers on this site are eligible voters in the TnT elections to see if your embarrassing efforts are really worth it. But then percentages present a peculiar challenge for you.
