Gotabaya Disappointment, Buddhism and a Vote Lehan U-Turn

5:30 p.m.

Hello!!

: )

I also voted for Gotabaya Rajapaksa. But was sadly disappointed, when there was no economic success. They would also steal money, or ask their partners to steal from public finances. Some of his ideas like banning fertilizers also were not very healthy approaches.

We do know more about advanced technology. We have better insight in managing countries, financing and even investing in good, healthier areas. When we accept responsibility for Buddhism, we will be more like Japan, while retaining core, theravada principles with our elite monks. Our country will be a lot stronger, and more developed, which our people want. This success will be systematic, meaning year on year, the amount we invest, our ability to manufacture and export, and the financial rewards, we will grow in a methodical way, designed for success. I fear that Sri Lanka, was operating as a "for-loss" business. So this is a U turn. Our Vote Lehan is different, as it's more to do with our people consciously 'changing', as a people, especially with respect to theravada, which has killed our major industries. If you consider 2,500 years ago, Siddhartha even then, realized, animal slaughter, swords, poisons, intoxicants and slavery, were the more profitable, albeit harmful, trades. Every year, for every decade, for every century, for 2,500 years, and perhaps earlier, and even in the next centuries to come, those businesses will be the most profitable, and will be around. Our Sinhalese have been totally destroyed financially, and the minorities,██████████████████, have taken over and are running these profitable businesses. If we win, we will be successful like the Japanese, the minorities will be there, allowed to do business in peace, with assistance and cooperation with us. They will also be happy. However, our Sinhalese race will be free, successful and happy.

Angela, Pro-Women Policies and Sri Lanka’s Workforce

6:00 p.m.

Hello Angela. We've got the most advanced, frontier edge, pro-women's policies. Almost radical fringe feminist policies. This is gonna propel our people forward. We expect the economy to grow from 70 to 140 billion, and perhaps triple to 210 billion. This is through equal participation by women. As our workforce is 8m, if it's 16m, or 20m, this will make us more productive. So daycare will care for kids, unless we copy Google's work environment, to keep kids in workplace daycares, near the parents. The key with us, is that we envision American, British, Nordic, European women. Not Indian, Asian women, or even Japanese women. Who have an inferior place, in their patriarchal societies, with lingering paternal attitudes. This is not something all women in Sri Lanka want, as through a combination, of parenting, education, social pressure, cultural reinforcement and conditioning, women are broken down, to play a subservient role to the father, brother, husband. This needs to stop. It's going to be the way we go into a future, where women aren't reduced like Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables as Fantine or the prostitute woman. Without women's rights, or equality, a woman will always be treated as nothing more than a prostitute, who can be cheapened out, disrespected as cattle or livestock or a product, to be used, while a man is in power. We are only doing everything we can, to empower women, to give them equal footing, equal treatment, equal opportunity, equal pay and equal rights -- the same as us men, not more.
