Think corruption in Trinidad is bad?

At least we're not fighting over BREAD. Yes, BREAD.

Quote
Egypt's president has ordered the army to increase the production and distribution of bread, in an attempt to cope with serious shortages.

Rising prices and alleged corruption have sparked recent clashes at bakeries in poorer neighbourhoods, leading to several deaths.

Hosni Mubarak said eradicating bread queues was "imperative".

The army and interior ministry control numerous bakeries normally used to supply bread for troops and police.

The price of wheat has more than tripled on international markets since last summer.

Many of Egypt's 70m population, about half of whom live below the poverty line, survive on subsidised bread.

Unsubsidised bread is 10-12 times more expensive than the subsidised five-piaster loafs (less that $0.01).

You all notice something else very important in that report right? 'The price of wheat has more than tripled on international markets since last summer.' so when we seeing $4doubles and complaining, on a certain level it's ubsurd and on another level we are some ungrateful mofos... cause we still have bread and not KILLING each other over it...

You know, the really sad thing here is that things have gotten so bad down there to the very point where people are fighting over bread. It really makes you wonder just how bad they really have it when a food considered to be a staple is out of a country's reach.
