I like Namal, he's a super patriot. He would have done very well, better than Gotabaya. It was a "bad wicket" with the Covid 19, where he had no tourists, and then had to carry Sri Lanka Airlines, which is making losses. Warren Buffett can divest, from airlines, make killer savings, and he's a saint for it. But see, it's difficult. They did "steal", but awarding contracts, is part of the culture, or way any country does business. Big business owners, often take part, or play a role because they want to earn. In the US, in any country, it's the exact same. However I would probably do it all online, so we can maximize investment. As it's a better, transparent design.
My mom went to this event. I am secular, I'm a judeo christian convert, or just hard secular, but have a buddhist background. I'm aware of the downsides to the theravada ideology. I just want to shore those weak points up. If you re-apply Right Livelihood, SL would easily be a mighty nation like Japan/Thailand.
