"Modern people are depressed because all the world's hard problems have already been solved.What's left to do is either easy or impossible, & pursuing those tasks is deeply unsatisfying.
What you can do, even a child can do; what you can't do, even Einstein couldn't have done."
@NalinWelgama what do you have to say about ideal group sri lanka's member Skynet courier scamming people?
This is not just me. If you go and see the reviews you'll find plenty of this! FYI the phone no. Isn't working either.

@RW_SRILANKA Wickremesinghe's magnificent role rescuing #SriLanka will be an enduring #legacy. No one can take that away from him.
It is good to remind ourselves; as I have done - in #Britain and the #Europe during #55 years -while clutching the "greasy pole of politics" that there is "no gratitude in politics".
#Churchil discovered that, as did @MrsMThatcher after winning #WW2 and the cold war. Voters do not say thank you - they vote for #promises which can be measured.
Clearly @SriLankaTweet could not measure what goodies they will get by continuing with Ranil and voted instead for other promises - more equity for women, the old and the infirm, for more justice "being seen to be done" and a slate of overdue social reforms.
While congratulating #PresidentialElection2024 @anuradisanayake on a historic victory I believe #NPP can deliver these. For the country to be restored and to grow he needs to deliver much more. He needs massive #foreigninvestments. He needs friends from abroad to wipe out the #debt, increase #exports, create new #jobsimulator, increase #wages. We must all help him to do this. It is not only our duty but also an imperative to help reduce #poverty, increase #opportunity and lift up the country.
At the peak of the #Aragalaya, there was a plan. BASL, supported by all opposition parties, mapped out a path forward:
1. The resignation of Gotabaya
2. An all-party interim government
3. Meaningful reforms, including the abolition of the Executive Presidency
2.
To paraphrase Late Mangala Samaraweera, “History will remember Ranil Wickremesinghe as best President Sri Lanka never had”
Everyone who gave their best to make that a reality can walk with nothing but pride.
@jinath Sajith lost around 12 lakhs compared to his last time. If RW wasn't there, that wouldn't make much difference, and even if it does, it'll be from the votes against AKD and not the votes for SP.
Ranil’s final record in 2024:
1.Never winning a presidential election
2.Never leading a government that was re-elected
2. Never giving up a party leadership
3. Destroying the party of national independence
4. Ensuring a Marxist wins the presidency for the first time in history
“President Anura Dissanayake, I entrust to you the care of the beloved child that is Sri Lanka,” Incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe in a message to the country’s president elect. https://t.co/0RIxUhYVjx
Now, all we need is for him to go to IMF etc and implement austerity measures. This will both, solve our issues and also end his political career in the hands of welfare-addicted Sri Lankans.
Win-Win, I'd say.
Thank you @RW_SRILANKA for your steady hand at a time when the country appeared beyond saving.
You’re often ridiculed by the very citizens whose lives you made better, but I have no doubt history will be much kinder in her assessment of all you achieved on our behalf.
Grateful to President @RW_SRILANKA for stepping up & steering Sri Lanka through challenging times. Thank you
for your contribution & efforts to pull Sri Lanka out of the abyss. 🙏🏽🇱🇰
All the best @anuradisanayake Hope you live up to peoples expectations & prove yourself 🇱🇰🙏🏽
