Iyo nguva yekugadzira zvombo zvehondo yadarika seindasitiri inoitira nyika yedu, kunyangwe nzira yehutungamiriri hwedu hwematongerwo enyika hunonamira hupfumi hwakare. Denda repasi rese rinosimbisa kwatiri kubatana kwese kwenharaunda yepasi uye hupenzi, kutambisa, uye kutadza kwetsika muhondo mumhando dzese. Isu tinofanirwa kushandura nzvimbo dzakaita seBIW neMarinette kuti dziite hubs dzekugadzira kuti dzigadzirise dambudziko remamiriro ekunze, kusanganisira chekufambisa neveruzhinji, zviwanikwa zvekugadzira simba rekuvandudza, uye ngarava dzekupindura njodzi. 

Kuvaka yakachena simba masisitimu kwaizounza anosvika makumi mashanu muzana emamwe mabasa pane kugadzira mauto system zvichienderana tsvakurudzo nekutungamira economists.
