It's okay because the insurrectionists are socialists. Wait, the government is what again?

The Sri Lankan government went all in on banning fertilizer well before the Ukraine war started, so they had some other shit going on and were trying to save money on that particular subsidized item.

The government there went from not long ago defeating the Tamil Tigers to this. Did the foreign aid dry up after the Tigers were no more?

Ammonium Nitrate and fuel oil might be more relevant to Sri Lanka.

Follow up: Google did have the protesters arrested at the end of the day at multiple locations. Is there any HR wiggle room for not firing employees that you call the cops on?
