Minimum wage hike is justified, but can't be excessive
Arjoon said, "An increase to the minimum wage is warranted especially given the dramatic increase in the cost of living in the last few years. In the last five years, prices increased by approximately 15 per cent, with food prices increasing by 27 per cent. The intention behind any increase in the minimum wage is to improve the purchasing power for those in the low-income brackets, their overall quality of life and help combat poverty. It is also intended to stimulate further economic activity in the private sector from additional spending, given that those in the lower income bracket will have higher disposable income."
He however noted that if the increase is too high, there could be a negative effect on the economy.

The deeply rooted politics of black hair
August is an important month in T&T, a month flanked by the celebrations of our Emancipation and Independence. It is an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come from the structural oppressions of enslavement and colonization, and how far we have left to go.
Some instances in T&T should offer up fodder for extra reflection, as they indicate that the work to release ourselves from the European ideals that were foisted upon us is not nearly finished.

You might not see me rolling on the ground, jumping and bawling, but it's hurting me. If he used to do this (crime), I never had any knowledge of this, so people will say all kind of things but I know what to believe. I don't know him to be that kind of person but I will not put my head on a block because I don't know what happened... or what was going through his mind that made him do what he did, if he did it."
