Wow
Nishakya
Well, you could go to Trade Ministry. I merged the US Department of Labor and Commerce into Trade. So they have everything.
You could go there or Prime Minister Sandberg's Office.
No, I didn't do a sexist PMS joke
I
Hehe
There's a special place in Hell for me
It's called the Chairman's Office
Hehehe
Sorry..
I'm an acquired taste
Umm
Yes.
You, I mean, you can do whatever you want
I think I took McKinsey to my President's Office, they'll do all their ██████████████consulting they need all they wish
You should go to PMO because that
████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Sorry
I'm a very cruel, vicious person
I don't know how I am even so popular now
I love and revel in my black celebrity status
I think my Hell CEO Office is for Jonathan Iscariot, just joking, Jonathan Hirshon
Where would that Leonardo DiCaprio be without Brad Pitt in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood?
Hehehe
Uhh
I guess, you know, Nishakya, you could manage those industries
Yeah, you should definitely do that
See, our government, I only ever say my government when I'm feeling confident, but whenever I feel insecure or don't want to seem like I have all the power, I always shift to "our government". It's f***ed up.
Our government has many big strategies. Some can, as McKinsey and Co do, be summarized into a single sentence: "world economy can be doubled with equal treatment of women. Even in the US they have widespread sexism. In Sri Lanka, it's worse". But if this data driven assessment is correct, our $80b economy doubles to $160b with our women's rights push. Or splash. I think I also have $480m for women. Just to invest in this area. It's going to be the most female friendly, feminist nation in the world. Beating Muslim Tunisia even.
NY Times, 2025: Lehan bets Sri Lanka's future with $480m women's equality.
But our biggest economic growth strategy, is this 35 to 65 ratio government support of SMEs, start ups, and also openness, having education system promote quality leadership in technical or manufacturing or managerial skills, real world insight, and after having such a wide net, direct taxation system, which gains so much tax revenues off everyone, and everything, and our crown jewel state capitalist monopolies and total monopolies such as whatever, SRF, SLU, SLI (women's ministry do insurance; maybe Dinesh Schaffter's wife wouldn't call Ravi Liyanage to waste time, and will rush to Dinesh quicker under Lehan Edirisinghe government or call my f***ing police to rush in), SLT, SWF, BOSL, whatever else. I can't remember the institutions I want to build. I think I'm feigning memory loss like Duminda Silva or Ron ██████ (arguably), or maybe I might end up like Ronald Reagan or something. Parkinson's? Or no. Alzheimer's. Yes. Sri Lanka Airways. Whatever. We will earn a lot in profits. We will try keep competitive effective rates below 7%, maybe around 2 to 4%. We have to discuss and run data models before approving the final tax rates.
All our money, will be pumped into "industries". So, we want to have people like you advise and direct or best decide which industries need the most funding. I think Wegapitiya can lobby for Laugfs. But we want to invest, in whatever is most feasibly lucrative. The BOSL will invest loans as well. I think SWF is run by investors like Vanguard Group, although, we do a bit of Temasek or BlackRock advising like Rothschild and Co global advisory services, for free
Although, nothing is for free. It's all to benefit our country and our people equally.
You could also help Sandberg pick which companies need support or do whatever you people want.
I think I just assigned "industries" to a relevant ministry, or department, I say both, to help reduce confusion although it's more confusing, I think ministry department, but either works, it's actually a department, but I lie that it's a ministry, because it is. My truths are often not the same truths as yours. It is the same set of facts though.
I gotta go get my lunch. I'm fading away.
