Utopia is finally within reach;
Sri Lanka’s new prime minister said on Monday the crisis-hit nation was down to its last day of petrol, as the country’s power minister told citizens not to join the lengthy fuel queues that have galvanised weeks of anti-government protests.
Ranil Wickremesinghe, appointed prime minister on Thursday, said in an address to the nation the country urgently needed $75 million in foreign exchange to pay for essential imports.
“At the moment, we only have petrol stocks for a single day. The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives,” he said.
“We must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices and face the challenges of this period.”
Two shipments of petrol and two of diesel using an Indian credit line could provide relief in the next few days, he added, but the country is also facing a shortage of 14 essential medicines.
Sri Lanka is in real chaos. Hungry residents are literally preying on wealthy residents and officials, burning their homes and cars. The police open fire to kill. More than 200 people have already been killed. pic.twitter.com/SBdXTsXpnE

Prinz Dummkopf, no doubt, would be salivating at that happening over here.
Didn’t I just recently read on here that he was directing Canadian farmers to reduce their fertilizer usage? Probably so we can export any leftover fertilizer to China.
Wait until the snow comes again in the fall and we’ll be there.
They didn’t read the instructions properly. They forgot the part about reducing their population by 75%.
No mention of banning fertilizer and going organic?
Doesn’t fit the narrative I guess.
Ceylon has always been a shithole, this is just another episode in its shitty history of shiftiness.
I liked Sigiriya, and the elephant orphanage…oh, and Anuradhapura.
It has some very cool sights, sure. But it is still a shithole. Indian subcontinent is an asshole of Asia. Ceylon is a dingleberry.
A recap on how this oil importation is supposed to work: They produce more of what they need in agricultural commodities (their only prominent export) and sell them for money that they use to pay for the oil. Except they bungled their ag production badly with the foolish ban on use of non organic fertilizers. Hence, no ag surplus. Hence no money for oil. All so predictable.
When all the people are dead, the Elites will turn it into a park.
“They took all the Tea, put it in a Tea museum…”
All they have to do is convert to a renewable electric system. Eurotrash, Libtards and Gretta (I repeat myself), have been saying so since Jesus left Chicago for Washington D.C.
They’ll have to end up using rickshaws
Stop it, man, you’re scaring me.
Just like Orwell’s 1984 was a warning, not an instruction manual, I am afraid our political class will learn nothing and do the same stupid things.
The peripheral economies, along with their currencies, are the first to fail. This is just getting started.
Seeing how nobody is selling fertilizer now, I guess they’ll be organic farming for the foreseeable future whether they like it or not. It’s telling that right after the government mandated agricultural policy that collapse quickly followed. Will this be a cautionary tale for others or conceived to be a challenge that we must rise to?
Gotta poop? Go out in the garden. We’re getting hungry.
When you’re down to your Indian credit card you’re in real trouble.
Oh, and net zero is not supposed to be the number of kilometres you drive.
Show some sympathy for the plebs, they had no say in this disastrous experiment. We in canaduh are not so different.
We do have a say, there are just too many stupid people.
We’re too focused on saving ourselves.
Well , organic farming certainly solved that issue.
