Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Stabroek News has done 85 editions in its ‘Cost of Living’ series to date and is yet to interview someone willing to say they are doing better than they were before, juxtaposed to this sad series is the daily dose of envy from all quarters on social media platforms where Guyanese point out who is doing well, who is driving a new vehicle and who is wearing what; a typical example is PNCR Attorney Darren Wade’s post yesterday on FB “Spare a thought for me, after 7 years of studies and 9 years of practice I still have to wake up and grind whilst a man can wash government vehicles and receive 17 million dollars in 6 month.”
