WHAT IS the economic cost of a round-trip airbridge ticket? Minister Shamfa Cudjoe is reported as saying that, just to break even, CAL would need between $700 and $1,000. Given airline costs, she may well be right, or not too far off the mark. However, just imagine the outcry if such a whopping increase from the present $400 were introduced, or even floated as an idea.

But CAL is subsidised, you say. So it is, but what criteria govern the subsidy? Has it ever been enough? How is it paid? Is there a lump sum for all CAL operations, or are there separate amounts for its international and domestic routes? If separate, is there a transparent and effective cost separation and allocation framework that reveals the total annual direct and overhead cost of the airbridge service? If so, what relationship has this cost borne to actual budget provisions for, and payments to, CAL?

Just over one year ago, CAL told us that the airbridge was a consistent loss-maker (BWIA held the same position). In his 2022/3 budget presentation the Minister of Finance, while announcing an increase in the round-trip fare from $300 to $400, nonetheless pointed out that an annual airbridge subsidy of over $50 million would still be required.

But which is constitutionally more important, balancing your books or treating all your citizens equitably? For a variety of reasons, Tobago residents, whose incomes are not as high as those of their Trinidad counterparts, have to rely heavily on Trinidad. The airbridge and the seabridge are very essential - indeed, indispensable - services for them. (But will they try seriously to reduce that dependence?)

If the current subsidy is insufficient (which among other things means that CAL pays more attention to profit-making routes in the wider region than to Tobago), are Tobago residents to be confronted with a more than doubled airfare? And what about the tourism, to a large extent Trinidadian, on which the Tobago economy significantly depends?

The frustration displayed recently by THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine and others is therefore perfectly understandable. I must however warn that emotion is not an adequate substitute for dispassionate analysis and decisions.

It has been announced that the matter of the negotiations between CAL and the pilots is to go before a Cabinet sub-committee. What has prompted this approach, and what relevant expertise this group may possess, I have no idea. But I do have two suggestions for all those involved - policymakers, negotiators, would-be airline operators, unions, etc.

First, could they study the Essential Air Service (EAS) model of the US government? They may also wish to hold discussions on that service with the US Department of Transportation, the responsible office. This is what the department says on its website:

'The Airline Deregulation Act (ADA), passed in 1978, gave air carriers almost total freedom to determine which markets to serve domestically and what fares to charge for that service…During the pre-ADA deb

You are complex. You are complicated. To understand you - or for you to understand yourself - takes time, takes looking at you from multiple angles, takes so much understanding of your history, environment, and innumerable other variables.

You are not a carrot.

Let me explain by way of a worst-case scenario. (Not that you need to be convinced you're not a carrot but hear me out.)

When I was in secondary school, working on our school news bulletin, I suffered from a severe case of flippancy.

I'd read so many magazine articles that asked if I wanted to know what my favourite colour said about me. Did I know which movie star I was most like? Did I want to find my true love via horoscope signs?

I didn't believe they knew anything about me, but they were fun and good for a laugh.

I was compelled to parody this foolishness. I made up the most absurd questionnaire, titled: What Your Favourite Vegetable Reveals about You. I remember it as being hilarious and witty - in that special arrogance of teenage misfits.

It was just so funny - exactly up to the point at which I saw two girls reading it and really thinking that it reflected who they were.

It never occurred to me that anyone would take it seriously. I wanted the earth to swallow me.

Somewhere out there, there may still be a girl who thinks the carrot is her spirit-vegetable and one who thinks hers is a cabbage.

Which brings us to the present and to the tests, quizzes and questionnaires you can find online. Specifically, the ones that have to do with mental-health diagnoses. Not the ones that are palpably ridiculous, like my vegetable one. Not ones like the examples from the magazines.

Not the ones in which sloppy generalisations are made - the ones that say you have social anxiety just because you answered that you don't like birthday parties. Or that you have an eating disorder because you said you like sweet breakfast cereals. We're going to full-on ignore those and move on.

Let's say we are worried something's not right. We don't want to go to the doctor. We don't especially want to confide in anyone.

But we do want to know if something is wrong.

There are lots of serious sites that offer online diagnoses.

I start feeling comfortable when I see a disclaimer that reminds me that taking the test does not take the place of a consultation with a real therapist or psychiatrist.

Some sites will offer names and numbers for services that provide help for those who, after taking a test, have concerns or are now possibly panicking about what the proffered results point to. Tests for suicidal risk, depression, anxiety, substance abuse and PTSD are some of the places you should get that extra bit of support.

I am not a fan of self-diagnosis. Online diagnosing reminds me of looking at the results of my blood tests - sure I can read it, I can see the figures and the ranges - but do I know what it means? Do I know what it means in the context of all the things that make up my physical health right now?

No. No to the hundredth degree.

Finance Minister Colm Imbert said he will introduce a school supply grant of $1,000 for needy students in 2024.

He said the initiative would cost $65 million and is expected to benefit 65,000 needy students.

The funds are expected to go towards buying school supplies such as uniforms, shoes, book bags, stationery and books.

He said the ministry was also aware of the "ever-changing booklists, which are unwarranted in the areas requiring little change, such as science subjects like chemistry.

"These continuous additions and alterations to school booklists...create additionally yearly expenses for families. In 2024, therefore, we intend to consult with stakeholders in the education sector, for standardised textbooks as far as is practical, and eliminate the need for unnecessary new textbooks arriving on the curriculum every year."

He said the practice was putting too much strain on needy families who cannot pass on books from one generation of children to another.

Imbert said programmes would be developed to train technical and vocational teachers to fill vacancies in current technical and vocational courses.
