Sri Lanka to run out of oil today as streets break out into chaos

“We have run out of petrol … At the moment, we only have petrol stocks for a single day,” said newly elected Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

On Twitter, Wickremesinghe warned his fellow Sri Lankans that they would face the “most difficult” time of their lives.

“The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives. I have no desire to hide the truth and to lie to the public. Although these facts are unpleasant and terrifying, this is the true situation,” wrote Wickremesinghe.

The economic crisis is being driven by a number of things, including a foreign exchange shortage, rampant inflation and shortages in food and fuel. The country also recently called off an organic farming program which imposed a nationwide ban on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Due to the policy, rice yields crashed by 20 per cent

in just the first six months of implementing the mandate. Additionally, the country’s tea production was heavily rocked.

I think I’m going to make the preparations I did during the BLM riots. I had to go to a mall today and I brought my 9mm and 4 spare mags. I normally carry 2 spare mags, but doubled it up today.

My buddy was at Lowes today and some contractor was freaking out at the store manager because no one had what he needed in stock. My buddy also couldn't find what he was looking for anywhere. Basically for my buddy it was joist hangers for a patio. Apparently those are in short supply.

I expect people to go more off the deep end as more things run out... which doesn't leave me with a good feeling when I'm out shopping. Head on a swivel if you know what I mean.

This lack of supplies seem to be a common occurrence. ... Contractor friend mentioned that last fall it took 3 weeks to get a load of concrete .. Kitchen appliances at times have a 6 month wait. .. Think of having a development worth tens of millions of Dollars maybe times 10 and everything is on hold for minor items ......He cannot pay his creditors .... At some point he has bad credit ... Some large lenders think we are at a breaking point. ... Price wise . This whole market could be crashing down .... Contractor knows it also . and wants to limit his liability .. But cannot as he might be waiting for say a few thousand Dollars of appliances. ..
6 months from now we could be looking at a vastly different world.

Those have been in short supply since the pandemic began. I remember hearing of houses being delayed just because they didn’t have them.

A friend was building a house and she told me they used to be at 6 months build time, but now it’s at 10+ months. They also wanted to charge her $628,000 for a 2000 square foot house and they were clearing the lot and doing they driveway. That’s an absurd amount of money in my area. There are few houses that go for that.

Like I said a during the restrictions, people are going to have enough, and we are going to end up like that.

I sure in the hell hope not, but you push the general masses too much, there is that breaking point.

People should start retreating that and tag our leaders.

They *should* be scared shitless. That is the proper order of things.
