FAST FACTS:
- In an attempt to improve Sri Lanka’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) score (which is totally communist), President Rajapaksa forced farmers to grow food organically and banned the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, thus causing the nation’s rice crop to fall by 20% in the first six months. Crop productions dropped 40-50%.
- Food shortages were next. (Hey Netherlands, are you watching?)
- Sri Lanka incurred outrageous expenses importing food and “organic” fertilizer.
- Tea production, Sri Lanka’s largest export, was decimated.
- Inflation exploded - to 54.6% as of June - and half a million Sri Lankans slid into poverty.
- Roughly 80% of Sri Lankans began skipping meals to save on food and money.
Now that Sri Lanka is on the ropes, who has offered to help? India, China, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Delegates from the IMF met with Sri Lankan officials to discuss a bailout. Psssst, The IMF has been overrun with commies.
Sri Lankans may either starve to death or could be saved by, and beholden to, communists. Was that always the plan? We need to look at who is behind these decisions. The Netherlands is exploding right now because their government decided to kill off 30% of their farms.
Closing farms while the world is undergoing food shortages is insane. We’ve been seeing food shortages in the U.S. already. Fuel is too expensive, and our supply chain is a joke. Worst of all, it seems as if Biden is only too happy to play along.
Sri Lanka went Woke to improve its ESG rating. Then it went broke. Who's next?
