$1/Hour!? Why everyone is leaving Lebanon

Imagine going from making $1400 per month to just $230 per month. That’s what’s happened to Nurses I met here in Lebanon. Naturally, many are trying to leave the country as fast as possible.

If Libanon wouldn't be a country living from criminal banking it would never exist as a country. They finally get what they deserve.

[@llothar68]

@Solszn Libanon is an artifical state. It's whole existing was thanks to a tax haven and a banking center for the criminals and dictators in the middle east. It has nothing else done in its existance. A little bit service industry and tiny 17% of agriculture and products. Now it finally collapses because its not worth to exist as a state. Switzerland and Luxembourg at least have stable other branches, even they also have dominant financial sectors. I say good riddance Libanon, fuck your ruling elite and than unite with Jordan. That the only chance.

[@chucky6291]

It's not only the government's fault, there are other countries playing a big role also which are pushing the leaders to divide us and make the gap wider. Lebanon needs to be a free thinking country before we can take the next step to making a better path.

more like our country is under a confederacy unfortunately.

Lebanon should leverage Carlos Ghosn by creating their own automotive and other industries to promote the economy. That is my two cents.

Do the youth of Lebanon try to get a PR to Canada via Express Entry. I believe they are fluent in both English and French.

Perhaps these Lebanese who leave the country may be the best thing for Lebanon. To be sure, the nation will lose many of its best and brightest like doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs and teachers but the remittances these emigres will send back to their relatives will help the balance of payments of Lebanon. These emigres will be sending dollars, euros and other hard currencies back to Lebanon which should help the economy.

Hi , Love respect for labenese people ❤. You all welcome to Pakistan 🇵🇰 😊. We have inflation. But thanks Allah no hyperinflation.

[@LebaneseRed]

We have failed ourselves because we never took any real stand for anything that benefits us to stay there. The corruption stems from our people and is only glorified by the political leaders. We never set any goals and just kept serenading the politicians with their bullshit... to all my Lebanese brothers and sisters , I love you all and do hope better days are still coming.

“Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest? In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29:17-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[@alphar85]

" after the war we had so many opportunities to leave the country " this is wrong mentality and way of thinking. This is what differentiates, for example, an English to an Arab. After WWII, many English fought the war and won, but England was destroyed. They had the opportunity to leave too anywhere in the world amd start fresh. They stayed despite debt to GDP shooting to 250%, high inflation etc... they rebuilt their country and repositioned themselves as a global power again. However, i agree with the fact that Lebanon is known for bad fiscal policy.

[@llothar68]

Libanese has to start creating the stuff they use. Food production? Everything imported.

[@FOLIPE]

That number of "Lebanese in Brazil" has no actual base on facts, it's just the number stated by governments out of thin air. Actual research shows the number of total descendants of middle easterns in the country is of at most 1 million (the research which got to this number happened using only states which had more immigrants so it's more of a ceiling than a baseline). Regardless, 7-9-11m which are numbers people say from thin air is absolutely not true - we know how many immigrants came from Lebanon and Syria in the turn of the century and they'd have to have increased their numbers by 30 times to get to those numbers in less than 100 years and that's just not something that happens.

[@tindrums]

They have been living well based on nothing. There is no internal economy and everything is imported. Usd 1400 a month was a luxury that is not affordable to a country with no economic production. Usd 250 seems right. The market has corrected the extravagant living in the past. Hustle is required. Clearly missing in that country.

They will be back . They will realise life is hard outside of Lebanon and there's no lifestyle like Lebanon. I'm from Australia, many migrate to Australia and hate life here because they realise Australia is high pressure working country . 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dandsjh]

And that's why Lebanon is the way it is today. Get off your butts and put in the work.

[@FabioTheGreat]

That some bs. I have Lebanese in my country, and they are just as hard work as any group. They can survive under high pressure, and tough environment. It has nothing to do with people itself or culture, but the system. If the system sucks, no matter how high pressure is the work. People will just choose to do the barely minimal cause there is no reward for working hard and being useful. If work hard in a high pressure system like Australia mean making 10x than average salary in their home country and have a better life, most likely they will choose to work hard in Australia.
