What appeared to be throngs of hundreds of protesters remained at the home of the president of Sri Lanka as of Tuesday.

From the story:
“The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka is in the throes of the worst economic crisis in its history, the result of the Rajapaksa dynasty implementing dangerous “green” policies like banning chemical fertilizers and taking out large, risky loans as part of China’s predatory Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The fertilizer ban, an attempt to shift to 100 percent organic farming, resulted in Sri Lanka becoming dependent on imports for food, which it can no longer purchase because it ran out of foreign currency. Attempts to shift away from fossil fuels have resulted in daily power outrages and extreme gasoline and other oil and gas product shortages. People
dying in hours-long lines for fuel has become a common-place occurrence throughout the year.
Socialist economic management has resulted in dire shortages of food, medicine, and nearly every other basic good.”
Failed policies that sound so familiar!
Maybe the outcome will be different when we try it!
We will find out soon enough……
