So your solution is to put meters everywhere? So when the meter runs out it’s the same thing isn’t it? The purpose is to give everyone a chance to park in the public sphere.

I'm going to assume you're talking about areas where a decent amount of parking turnover during business hours is expected, and where folks shouldn't be abusing those slots by using them as a parking lot space. Ya, put meters on those.

A statue of the Virgin Mary is weeping in a Sri Lankan church. Yeah. I don't believe it.

Official: Most Sri Lanka bombers were highly educated (from @AP) https://apnews.com/b03a953e04d947a2bb515f8d47d19310

Quote:
Many of the suicide bombers who killed more than 350 people in a series of coordinated Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka were highly educated and came from well-off families, the junior defense minister said Wednesday.



The bombers were breakaway members of a pair of obscure extremist Muslim groups, he said. Officials had earlier blamed one extremist group for the bombings, though they say the attackers may have had support from foreign militants.

“Their thinking is that Islam can be the only religion in this country,” Ruwan Wijewardene told reporters. “They are quite well-educated people,” he said, adding that at least one had a law degree and some may have studied in the UK and Australia.
I wonder if Sri Lanka will play a no endgame tit for tat with them or clean house like Myanmar did.

Let's hope they're not as retarded as Myanmar or Trump.
