@colomboinsights Adding to this that some of our fellow ‘Colombo Elites’ will also need to join the list of politicians going in - and we are patiently waiting to take their market share like the opportunists we are 😉
@colomboinsights As one of these ‘Colombo Elites’ (your defiintion not mine) who’s actually paid taxes - we’re OK with this, this lot need serve time.
Nationalization etc. - exaggeration on your part. If better alternatives to this govt. come up, they’ll get votes.
@ChapmanMuth@rangaba@anuradisanayake@IMFNews Nothing wrong with that though - as an investor, if you don’t get the ROI you’ll just go invest elsewhere.
IMF is notorious for imposing austerity on countries, we don’t have to follow their every directive if the overall trajectory is good right.
@rajakarunahs Listen to what your dad’s good friend and neighbour in Nuwara Eliya as well as Colombo said, while your ass warmed the speaker’s seat little boy: මේවා තමයි ශාප.

@UmeshMoramudali Feels like low hanging fruit too - if we have that sizeable yuan reserve that we can’t do much with, why not offer duty concessions to panels brought from China.
Long term benefit to the country could be massive. $6-7B a year saving under current prices 🤷♂️
@samarajiva@sanjiva@UmeshMoramudali This is based off a simple Gemini search but I strongly believe we should push aggressively towards energy independence and renewables. Taking duties off solar panels and batteries is a start? Significantly less duties on EVs need to factor into this too.
@EvilSavior7 That parliament image looks fake no? I live in the area and the roads don’t seem right, the building is very close to the lake edge in this photo (should be in the centre of the lake) + crowd wasn’t this big when I drove past either.
@nomadic_sanjee Propaganda was fed to both sides during the conflict - that’s the truth. SM has helped youth in seeing this, and in bridging the culture gap. There are still a few (both sides) who want to weaponise this for politics - but they’re a dying breed (literally).
