Jamaicans are going crazy! A week after Hurricane Beryl many are still without electricity. People have voiced their frustration on all platforms, struggling with the heat and finding cooking and ironing impossible. Many compare these times to those of their parents, barely surviving hardships they were once warned about.

We want to think our prayers tamed Beryl before she hit us. But she left harsh reminders when she slammed St. Elizabeth and Manchester, crippling Jamaica’s breadbasket.

HIGH PRICES HURTING CONSUMERS

Look at your grocery bill lately? Did you faint? Gone are those days when 10,000 JMD could buy enough food for a week and still allow for a KFC treat. Prices in the supermarket shoot north every week. And by huge percentages. We can barely afford to step outside, as it seems like we need to pay for the air we breathe.
