@nomadic_sanjee @pradeeban Exactly... When your opinions don't align with theirs, they will use that line to shut you off. They claim that you need to live here to make a political opinion. Ironically, they forget the fact that the IMF more or less sets our budget proposal.

DS Senanayake, JR Jayawardena, R Premadasa. Sri Lanka’s liberal wing has always delivered on the economy. Budget 2026 shows, again, that the NPP has no real economic strategy. It’s up to the liberal wing to consolidate & present a credible ‘united front’

@AingkaranK It's fair to say you misunderstood the point altogether. For me, the message means; {Some people on social media who mock Sunil Hadunnethi's English can barely speak it themselves.} BTW, the word is hypocrisy, and that's exactly what she's trying to explain.

Funny how the statement lectures about ‘class privilege’ and then immediately mocks people for ‘barely speaking English.’ You can’t denounce elitism while using elitist insults. There’s a word for this kind of behaviour. Starts with an H. Anyone?

Was there any link bridge ( roughly 30 Km ) or something which connected - Thalaimannar ( Sri lanka ) and Dhanushkodi ( India ) thousands of years ago ? then what is this ?? just a sand formation or something else ? or a manipulation ?? 😇

@Hanuman_Banda @ggwickramasing1 @RationalistOne @Im_amila Solid plan to have a Burning Man alternative with the rise of Ravana. But avoid questioning Seetha. Either way, she did nothing wrong. She was a victim. Q3 is also culturally insensitive as you are making fun of our ancestor Ravana.

@RationalistOne The key word is wealth. And it can be progressive, with say a billion LKR in wealth attracting a minimal tax, say 0.1%, and go up to say 0.5% for multi-billionaires. Same can apply to a property tax, it can be targeted at second homes, investment property etc

When I say the most affluent in our society don't pay their fair share & that we need to tax the rich, some “corporate leaders” get triggered. When I suggest wealth taxes to help reduce inequality, they say rich people will leave. May be they’ll listen to Murtaza Jafferjee?

@RationalistOne @Im_amila It is unlikely for a foreign element to build that bridge when local Sri Lankan technologies were far superior…

@KusumW Sri Lanka is not Vietnam. GR reduced VAT from 15% to 8%, and we all saw what happened as the country descended into bankruptcy. A more effective approach would be to reduce VAT in specific sectors and redirect the surplus to vulnerable communities to stimulate the economy.

@Devamanthri Arctic Ice will be all gone by 2050 (summer ice, that is).

I shouldn’t be the one to say this. But the AI (GenAI, AGI, …) and Blockchain (PoW, …) energy consumption, heat generation, and land occupation by supercomputing data centers… When we raise the alarm eventually, we may not have anything left for humans, no ice in the Arctic.

Every little bit helps. Please help this progressive mother pay off her child's healthcare debt. GoFundMe link is in the quoted tweet. #MedicareForAll #Medicare4All.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG

One of my adult children has been trying to enroll in health insurance for weeks now. Mailed in her form with a check, called for weeks every damn day talking to “customer service” reps, they claim they don’t have her form or check and told her to FAX in a new one, FAX, FAX, who even does that anymore 🤯, so after she said I don’t even know how to FAX she then figured it out and FAXED her form in multiple times and that was over a week ago, and she’s still calling and talking to them EVERY DAY, and they still don’t have her enrolled yet with a policy and claim it’s in process. And God love her, she’s doing great diligently working this insane process on her own like many Americans have to do everyday. I’m not one of those helicopter moms, never have been because I raised my kids to be responsible for their own lives, so I’m just in Mom daily call support mode. But Lord Jesus take the wheel, I’d like to choke someone out at this point!!!(figuratively speaking of course everyone) Health Insurance is a disaster!! Democrats created this with Obamacare and added to it by passing the 2021 tax credits and want to keep the same mess going. Republicans have yet to present us with an effective plan to fix it because there isn’t a complete plan yet, just bills that address certain areas. And one time $2,000 stimulus checks, that get taxed by the way, are not going to help Americans afford health insurance or fix this epic failure. The frustration and anger is real and warranted. All of this from both parties is unacceptable and both sides should take responsibility and work together to fix it.
