Why would I reach when most Jamaicans rely on remittances to meet their basic needs?

Socilization is closely tied to living standards. It's beyond income. What is called greed here is a high marginal propensity to consume (MPC). It is why people who were originally poor tend to overspend when they earn more.

Today people destroyed doors with their bare hands over free chicken at different locations and I am being told it is "excitement".

Jamaica is mostly ranked as a middle income country because the data is skewed by the magnitude of the wealth of the top earning group. Unlike the US or UK, the average Jamaican is not in the middle class, but poor or working class. We also have a small social safety net.

The reason the Jamaica's private sector is small is because the middle cass is small and not growing by much, if at all. Most Jamaicans being working class or poor also explains why some business models fail so easily even though they are needed.

I analyze economies, sectors and businesses for a living...

What is my take?

Please note, I don't draw conclusions from one data set, study period or observation.

Truly Iconic.

I will never understand record sales as a measure of quality

Jim jones saying his son can’t name a Nas song ain’t the flex he think it is lol

Economics is a social science based on human nature.

Demand curves and price elasticty are influenced by culture, mindset and human beliefs. Yet I was told yesterday's KFC episode had nothing to do with economics but mindset and "love for KFC". 'Freeness' culture and preference is explained by John Keynes' MPC theory.

Jamaica has come a far way.

Jadakiss hands down. We've been here before a la Dipset VERZUZ LOX.

The percentage of primary school students proficient at mathematics has doubled. This is based on their performance in the 2025 grade six Primary Exit Profile, PEP, compared to 2023, when they were first assessed, at the grade four level. nationwideradiojm.com/math-proficien…
