    Guys I'm beginning to think letting millions of people die and or get a debilitating disease wasn't a good idea

      But I thought there was a labor shortage because workers were lazy. How could this be?:cap-think:

        It was definitely because of a $1400 check a year ago... wait... it was definitely the federal unemployment that ended months ago... wait... the child credits... those ended too...

        Not to say your wrong since I'm completely unaware of much anything about sri lankan, but wouldn't worsening tourism numbers be because of covid? Or is that just a long term trend that was exacerbated?

        It is though. COVID’s a respiratory illness

          doctors gaslighting people isn't pedantic it's just tiring, false, and deadly

          if a virus causes its victims to die from multi-organ failure, but the first thing to kill them is their lungs since lack of oxygen is more immediately life threatening than your kidneys/liver/stomach not working, then it is not a respiratory virus.

          I feel like communists should be more able to understand this than anyone else, it's like saying that poor Yemenis/North Koreans/Cubans are dying because of "agricultural problems"

    triggered by a shortage of foreign currency reserves that have impacted financing imports

    The economic highs of Globalism are receding and we are increasingly left with the hang-overs and withdrawals.

    Maybe now is the time for a little decolonization and domestic infrastructure investment, eh? Or maybe not. We could just try and re-collateralize debts yet one more time and see if that still works.
