Comments on: Jordan And Egypt: The Bread Experiences http://www.black-iris.com/2008/03/18/jordan-and-egypt-the-bread-experiences/ A Jordanian Blog Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:37:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: abu daoud http://www.black-iris.com/2008/03/18/jordan-and-egypt-the-bread-experiences/#comment-113243 abu daoud Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:08:53 +0000 http://www.black-iris.com/2008/03/18/jordan-and-egypt-the-bread-experiences/#comment-113243 This is certainly bad but I just read today that basic food prices in Yemen have gone up 400% over the last year. So I guess this is going on everywhere. It's simple. Populations are going up. But we can't make more farm land--especially in Jordan--so the food supply is maxed out. I don't see a way around this very grave problem. This is certainly bad but I just read today that basic food prices in Yemen have gone up 400% over the last year.

If you want to be pampered and can afford it, go to a tropical resort for a week, but this isn't a way to live, even busy scientists or scholars can give 10 minutes away for bread buying! Is it a visa/mastercard product? or some bakery and sponsored by those? How would it be successful? bakeries are all over amman and I never heard even the most complaining people having problems with getting their bread /Excluding Sofara at Ramadan for Atayef/. As for giving jobs by such businesses, it helps on the short run until waiters come to serve a meal worth of their monthly salaries. Such business are smart when they solve problems, these are only entertaining for a few. Its amazing how pampering is considered a good living!!

Isn't jordan turning to Dubai 2 ? I mean let's face it , Only the rich are capable of living in those impossibly expensive expenses . Gaz , Solar , Water , FOOD .. EVERYTHING! Now they're doing this to serve the rich side of people that aren't even feeling the whole economic problem in the country .. We are screwed ! And no thanks , I'd get my bread while doing my evening 5 min walk . Well, Well ,Well … Isn’t jordan turning to Dubai 2 ?

When Egypt raise the bread prices in the laet 1970's and I used to live there, there were major demonstrrations and poor people were just destoryong people's cars and shops, they just cant afford any raise in a neccessity such as bread in Egypt that feeds 70 million people, but that was 30 years ago, now things are different, they are worse!

Oh those days, in which Jordanians used to shout for their bread, Allah Yirham.

Since there were multiple services such as this, the other advantage is that you could instantly compare prices and sales meaning you'll end up saving the extra cost of the delivery anyway.

Such services provide jobs. So I would say, the more rich people spend on this kind of luxury, the better for the poor. Why shouldn’t you use such a service if you can afford it?
