imo.

the freebies distributed to the whole public should be made a very tiny percentage of the gdp of state.

so if any gormint wants to give more freebies then they will have to work more ??

:hmm::hmm:
China style 3 red lines ? Speaking of which no one is giving a shit about the meltdown going on in china's province debt.

after this is over, you should take a month holiday on SL. these days news media skews the perception of reality. in this case conflating strategic issues with day to day sri lankan life.

as far as investing is concerned, requesting @HeinzGud to give a good sales pitch on SL to @srevster :yo: . i will not charge any consulting fee :cowboy:

SL's 20th amendment to their constitution gave unlimited powers to the president to appoint ministers, judges and govt servants at his will and pleasure. This is said to have accelerated what was already a bad fiscal situation. Now opposition want's to revert constitution to the previous 19th amendment that will take away the President's excessive powers and restore power to parliament. In effect restoring true democracy from a strong man pseudo-dictatorship.

It appears they don't have the equivalent of our Basic Structure doctrine ...

SL and Russia evolving scenarios are valuable lessons to our thinking on "nationalist" dispensations.
