Sri Lanka unrest hit the feed, then small relief: bright watermelon slices and a breath of calm amid instability.

THERAPIST
What brings you in today?
US PARTNER
I don't know what to do..
THERAPIST
He's at it again?
US PARTNER
He's just so...wicked
THERAPIST
What'd he do this time? I'm going to write it down.
███████████████████████████
US PARTNER
He's... he's so awful..
THERAPIST
This is a safe space, let it out, no judgement
█████████████████████████████████████
US PARTNER
He's confessed, that we get half the money to invest, and that we are basically all his slaves, and now, he's saying he must be the new president of his country, and he's made up this f---ing cabinet, full of people, and he's--
THERAPIST
Slow down, woosah, woosah, slow, slow down, I'm writing this down, "delusions of grandeur"--

THERAPIST

US PARTNER
Yeah...
THERAPIST
Well, what else now?
US PARTNER
He takes all the credit, passes the blame around to everyone else, blames me for this and that
THERAPIST
Don't let me stop you, go on...
US PARTNER
[Bleep] says that he did everything himself, that he put everything together, and then takes credit for everything, and then, he suddenly, he just blames everyone else for everything too

Gotabaya, Currency Depreciation and New LKR Billionaires
7:00 p.m.
(b)
Gotabaya has sort of kept his promise
Vistas of Splendours
Every██████in Sri Lanka is a LKR billionaire now
If they had $3,360,000 dollars
Now, they're billionaires
Within 1 month, their Rs 672,000,000 LKR has increased 50% to Rs 1,000,000,000 LKR
A Missed Pizza, Financial Relief and Family Betting Ambitions
1:30 a.m.
(b)
I have missed the Uber Eats Pizza Hut delivery. So, after 8 minutes, they have left. I'm absent minded. I am not perfect. I owe them Rs 1,350 or something. I'll pay them tomorrow with the brother Milan's card. As I don't have any cash in my credit card.
I am also quite happy I don't have any money. It's just the strangest feeling in the world. I feel like I've got all the time in the world, I have all the money in the world -- because I have my honor, because I have not stolen anything. I feel so much relief.
This is Ruchira Nanayakkara. His family. Umayanga, who waved at me from his Jeep Wrangler once in the road. His dad Prabath, who is adored by Jagath's wife Samantha. They are in trouble. I don't 100% agree with the criticism, because any business person only ever played by the rules the majority set democratically.
Most likely, Jagath is also being targeted very badly right now. So is Thilanga.████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ They don't need to earn from commissions from corrupt deals. They have 300 betting shops islandwide, so they have more than enough money.
██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
They likely won't face too many problems. I'll likely get more involved with the family betting business, but only strategically. My cousins will love to support President Lehan. It's good.
When my family has 300 casinos islandwide. Then, when the economy goes up from $80b to $200b and then $500b.
We will get real f---ing rich
They can run by campaigns for me
They better f---ing do (lol)!
It means we are well positioned
Our wealth depends on Sri Lanka's prosperity as the richer the nation, the wealthier we get as people will bet at our casinos
They will be happy to bet if they think that Lehan Edirisinghe saved Sri Lanka
