Get rich or Die Trying
Yes its a 50 cent song. but currently it holds more meaning to those of us still living in jamaica. This morning the lady that delivers the gleaner didn’t do her rounds (yes even though i work at the gleaner at times i still buy the paper). Thanks to the internet that didn’t affect my morning.. i could still read the news and drink my Tea and do my morning meditation and what not. So straight to my rss aggregator i wen and clicked on all the latest additions.. the one that shocked me the most was Bread prices rise again. Now i’m speaking with someone about it and he asked what are we gonna do about it.. and all that came to mine was the 50 cent lyric.. “Get rich or die trying”. I didn’t mean it from a crime lord perspective either. However with jamaica’s current state food is gonna be considered a luxury to people who could just afford to get by. So your left with no option but to get rich so you can afford to live or die trying to do exactly that.
Bread is already over a hundred dollars like $120 if i’m not mistaken. Say a house hold has 5 people in it a loaf of bread can easily be finished within the morning (breakfast).. Brace your self my fellow jamaicans Hard times are ahead.

Hmmm. disgruntling. Bread goes by very quickly in my house. I guess I will have to get used to the bread back now..
I have so many questions to ask.. cho. How long are we going to be under JLP leadership? And when is uncle Bruce going to start using his super powers for good? I know, I know.. its not his fault the country is in such a grim state. But is him did waaan tek up leadership under him belt, so him better ready fi di critics!

I read it too. Damn. Plus the bread is so damn light that it can barely satisfy you.

the worldwide price of wheat is going up.. I dont think bruce can do much about this.
meh.. I not really a heavy bread user but if that goes up I can just imagine everything else going up.

KFC, Island Grill , EVERYONE a go increase again…
Like Adrian say Bruce can’t really do anything about this, so it’s not JLP/PNP thing.
Such is life

Everything has gotten more expensive these days! It seems that I need to start eating less! I haven’t bought any bread in about a month now, which is unusual. Hmm I guess I’ll have to buy it once month instead of weekly.
