DOMESTIC TERROR: THE “NIGHT OF RAGE.”
A friend comments: “I don’t mean to be alarmist, but every Catholic parish in the United States needs to have a security plan for the nights and weeks after Roe is overturned. And armed parishioners need to be part of it.”
RESERVOIR PROGS: “They are fundamentally ungrateful, even enraged, with the way things are. By definition, a progressive always thinks we haven’t progressed far enough, and therefore is always unhappy with the state of things. The youngest progs, having been trained on campus to communicate this way, can scarcely make it through a meeting without raising their hands and announcing, ‘As a [fill in blank], I feel. . . ‘ as though their feelings are the most critical issue facing the group, rather than a matter for them to discuss with their loved ones and shrinks. . . . Progressives remain stuck in the angry-young-man stage indefinitely. The most eye-opening example of what Grim discusses on the left is at the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion group that barely acknowledged the Dobbs draft decision leak that would overturn Roe v. Wade and instead concentrated on its internal squabbling about whether to form a union. Like every other lefty-activist group Grim reports on, its escutcheon might as well be changed to ‘Entitled, Narcissistic Brats.’ Maybe Latin would make it sound a little better.”
OPEN THREAD: Can’t you see that it’s late at night.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION STUDYING THIS AS A HOW-TO GUIDE: Sri Lankan Prime Minister Says That the Nation’s Economy Has Collapsed.
The Sri Lankan economy is foundering under the weight of heavy debts, lost tourism revenue and other effects of the pandemic, as well as surging costs for commodities. The result is a country hurtling towards bankruptcy, with hardly any money to import gasoline, milk, cooking gas and toilet paper.
Lawmakers from the two main opposition parties are boycotting Parliament this week to protest Wickremesinghe, who became prime minister just over a month ago and is also finance minister, for failing to deliver on his pledges to turn the economy around.
Wickremesinghe said Sri Lanka is unable to purchase imported fuel due to heavy debt owed by its petroleum corporation.
The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation is $700 million in debt, he told lawmakers. “As a result, no country or organization in the world is willing to provide fuel to us. They are even reluctant to provide fuel for cash.”
The crisis has started to hurt Sri Lanka’s middle class, which is estimated to be 15% to 20% of the country’s urban population. The middle class began to swell in the 1970s after the economy opened up to more trade and investment. It has grown steadily since.
Until recently, middle-class families generally enjoyed economic security. Now those that never had to think twice about fuel or food are struggling to manage three meals a day.
“They have really been jolted like no other time in the last three decades,” said Bhavani Fonseka, a senior researcher at the Centre for Policy Alternatives in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital.
“If the middle class is struggling like this, imagine how hard hit the more vulnerable are,” Fonseka added.
The situation has derailed years of progress toward relatively comfortable lifestyles aspired to across South Asia.
