Using the Crisis to Design Worker Boards and Mega-Bank Mergers

September 8, 2022

This page uses Sri Lanka's collapse as an excuse to redesign everything: workers on boards, no IMF cash to thieves, huge bank mergers, stronger industrial policy, and even product/export support for companies like Siddhalepa.

You should have 50% of your board of directors consisting of workers. This makes sense from a business perspective.

Right now, the country's a mess because of horribly bad judgement from our political leaders as everyone seems to agree on.

However, when things do improve, we need to know our workers are able to earn a good living.

We are ashamed of this disgraced president ████████ and also █████, who is an unelected, undemocratic de-graded president himself.

I don't think it's wise to cooperate with a thief like █████. Or a thief's accomplice, who is as thick as it gets with ████.

I saw some highlights of the UNP convention. Nobody takes █████ seriously. Those people are there to sleep. To show their face.

Who is █████ fooling? When he says that he's got no ███████████ gov, but a███████████ gov, that he has to compromise, be bipartisan? Nobody.

I think it's a real shame.

I keep telling our friends and partners and the IMF not to give out any money, but just offer some money for food, or better yet, as █████ will steal that money, just give some food directly.

Hi Dharma! We're (I'm*) keen on merging 1. Bank of Ceylon, 2. People's Bank, and 3. National Savings Bank.

I think that the fragmented private banking sector, should also consolidate. As they're just too small. They just can't facilitate or offer the banking facilities that big firms will need to do business. I can push you into running some of those merged private banks.

It's up to them if they want to merge, as it's private funds. They're private. But i know they just won't survive unless they do, as their rates aren't good or competitive enough.

Especially, as the very big private banks will all move here upon my invitation, all of a sudden, and they don't even need Sri Lanka depositors.

I'd suggest, and will help orchestrate the merger of two, new private banks:

1. commercial, hatton, ntb, and dfcc bank =

2. sampath, seylan, union, ndb, cargill's, islamic development bank, and pabc =

You can be try to be chairman of Harry's Bank.

I was the Managing Director of Siddhalepa Group since 1994 and was appointed as Chairman and Managing Director in May 2022. Siddhalepa Group is primarily ...

You should add Wasantha De Silva or Lalith or Kanchana or someone as a friend, so we can have a mutual friend.

I love your product. Singapore was promoting Axe Oil, so it was quite successful. Or was it Tiger Balm. We will help out as it's a great product (Siddhalepa) and also, I like Samahan. I gave some to Pauline when she had flu, and she thought it was some kind of drug haha. Hehehe.

Should've charged her!

The only real difference and confusion in terms of our economic policy, which a cool person such as hopefully: Sheryl Sandberg (PM appointed) will be leading, will be this new strategy of dividing up the many industries with a ministry responsible for its success.

So, that will be confusing at first. But really, it simplifies everything.

In your case, it could be Health Ministry or Trade Ministry, which is in charge of exports.

The reason this causes confusion is that we will not be charging taxes the way we do in SL right now. We'll switch where the ministry for the industry will advise us, and then, we'll charge a rate that's healthy.

Again, what is miraculous, is that we won't be spending away. There are ear marks or approved budgetary expenses. We are only keen on raising money through taxation to pay for that.

I hate how Pharoah ████████ and █████ are collecting taxes at the whip from us slaves, for him to build pyramids for █████ upon a parted sea. But that's insanity. We won't be going down that road.

Our effective rates of taxation are likely to be very low. However, this depends entirely on the industry and the size of the firm. If it's a large firm, then it may be up to 35%, but standard firms get 21%, and SMEs get just 14%. We can lower it down to 7%, or especially exporters, they get lower rates.

I know it sounds like this is the end for SL. But it's not. The people have chased out Gota, and now Ranil, I don't think he's going to cut it. I asked our friends to give food to Sri Lanka, but no money. As Ranil's not accountable. I also don't want to cooperate with him. He should bring █████████ to account for theft if he's to be taken seriously. I don't know about war crimes.

Looking at things, if I had been in Gota's spot, and I did a ████████████████, nobody would've really cared. But he's not me, and I won't help them.

If you people had just signed my f***ing deal, this country wouldn't be in the soup it's in.

We were both young 👦 👧 when I first saw you

I'm standing there 🙂 🩱

In a Midsummer Night's Dream 🧚 ("Playboy Mansion" 🐰 )

See the stars, see the party, the body paint 🎊✨🌠

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello" 👋

Little did I know 🤔

[Pre-Chorus]

That you were Romeo, you were skipping pebbles 🎳

And Raja said, "Stay away from Naomi" 👨‍👧

And you were crying on the staircase 😥😭

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me (Marianne) somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run 👙🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

You'll subscribe and I'll be treat of the month 🎥

It's a love story, Tammy, just say "Yes" 😉

[Verse 2]

So I (Shamini) sneaked out to the garden 🌴 to see you 👙

We keep quiet 🙊 , 'cause we're dead ☠ if she knew 🦩

So close your eyes 🙈 🦜🦚😍

Escape this town 🌇🌃 for a little while, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you were Romeo, I was in Scarlet Blue 👙📰

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I was begging him, "Please don't hang up 👿 ," and I said:

[Chorus]

I (Bazena) will be waiting, all there's left to do is run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess 😄🥳

It's a love story, Nitya, just say "Yes" 💗💞

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

I (Pooja) got tired of waiting 🌄🌅🌉

Wondering if you were ever coming around 😟

My (Sasha) faith in you was fading 🥀😥

When I met you on the outskirts of town 🏙🌆

[Breakdown]

And I ("Gabi's friend") said, "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone 👙😖😣

█████████████████████████████████████████████

Is this in my hair 🤦‍♀️ ? I don't know if it will stick" 🙉

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

[Chorus]

"Marry me, Pauline, you'll never have to be alone 💗

I love you ❤ , and that's all I really know 💑🙃😀

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It's a love story, Casi, just say 'Yes'" 💘

[Outro]

Hatikva -- The Song of Hope:

https://youtu.be/1DPqNHkm1bM

כֹּל עוֹד בַּלֵּבָב פְּנִימָה

נֶפֶשׁ יְהוּדִי הוֹמִיָּה,

וּלְפַאֲתֵי מִזְרָח קָדִימָה,

עַיִן לְצִיּוֹן צוֹפִיָּה;

עוֹד לֹא אָבְדָה תִּקְוָתֵנוּ,

הַתִּקְוָה בַּת שְׁנוֹת אַלְפַּיִם,

לִהְיוֹת עַם חָפְשִׁי בְּאַרְצֵנוּ,

אֶרֶץ צִיּוֹן וִירוּשָׁלַיִם.

***

O while within a Jewish heart,

Beats true a Jewish soul,

And Jewish glances turning East,

To Zion fondly dart;

O then our Hope—it is not dead,

Our ancient Hope and true,

To be a nation free forevermore

Zion and Jerusalem at our core.

***

Kol ‘od balevav penimah

Nefesh Yehudi homiyah,

Ulfa’ate mizrach kadimah,

‘Od lo avdah tikvatenu,

Lihyot ‘am chofshi be’artzenu,
