[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

@@Steamerbeen yeah you're right, a major story floats to the surface in pretty much every country from time to time. But I feel something has changed. Africa suffers food shortages, panic protests and looting. China suffers massive food shortages, due to relying on sea food in over 30%, they apparently exhausted their waters, now sending big fleets of fishing boats to other countries shores, with trackers switched off. Happening for months now, they even raid USA and Africa. Severe droughts and massive fires in Turkey and many other countries that will lead to food supply chains being broken. Only thing we hear is flood in Germany and Belgium, fires in California. Only way I know is watching too much YT. It's like they don't want us to know, Earth is actually on the brink already. I'm sure I already forgot few of those really worrying news.

It wasn’t a real economy! I don’t even see them right now understanding the reason behind their situation or the consequences of their very flashy, extravagant and shallow values! They only blame the government that they keep choosing, The government that represent their culture of selfishness and greed.

the whole concept of subsidies is a huge mistake, it encourages smuggling and makes goods super cheap not only for the poor but also for those who can easily afford them. A much more rational social policy is to have cash benefits for the very poor and they can spend them for whatever they need. Sadly, in a country like Lebanon, that doesn't produce anything, there will never be enough money to help all the people who might need help, it's just a fact of life but taxing more successful people or corporations too much is counterproductive as they then tend to vote with their feet and relocate. Another huge error in Lebanon is state monopolies, they always foster inefficiency and corruption and are best avoided, healthy competition always works much better.

Same is happening in cuba, we need the world to be able to see ,no medicine, no food, no electricity for 8 hours a day, its total nightmare

[@MrGwax]

The entire gov’t is criminal, blaming the opposition that had little influence 😂😂 OMG!

[@altcodex5625]

One of the prime example what corruption can do to a country that is why even smallest act of corruption should not be ignored and treated as a punishable offense. Its a ticking time bomb in philosophical sense.

Last time I checked, Lebanese have the power to vote for their political leaders, yet they blame "The Establishment"? BLAME YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS! You all voted for your leaders. Lebanese citizens DESERVE the politicians they vote into office!

Question: Why Lebanon is in crisis? Answer: Central Bank.

[@wildsideofthings7733]

That and the government was overthrown after the Beruit explosion with the addition of the pandemic.

[@wildsideofthings7733]

I’m not labonese so I have no right pointing fingers at anyone since it is not my country. But I just left behind what I’ve heard from the international news. Never anything about central bank, in fact I know next to nothing about Lebanese central bank.

[@Fr-db2sp]

@@wildsideofthings7733 In economy when you have a monetary devaluation the priciple cause is because Central Bank decide to change the value of the currency! It is not a Lebanon problem, it's a global problem...the diffence is only that some countries accept conditions and other not...this is my personal opinion obviosly !

Pray for Lebanon🇱🇧

[@adamsolomon7877]

Please don’t emigrate. Stay in your countries and fix them. Just emigrating all the time is not the solution. Lebanon has emigration since at least the 1860s

[@ax6356]

they would have to leave the county all at once

[@guff9567]

No mention of putting corrupt politicians in prison?

[@Corywick]

Stop with all the prayers.....Obviously that will accomplish nothing. And I am a Christian. People Change things, not prayers

[@ax6356]

no one in this comment section is going to do anything about the Lebanese situation. you know this.

Why is the government doing this? They say they are behind on payments or whatever, but they (government) can fix this, I feel they don’t want to an what are they accomplishing out of it? What are they getting out of this? Greed? Power? What?

[@edc1569]

pretty sure they're near bankrupt.

[@bonefishgrill6382]

lol, Lebanon still values their dollar to the US dollar... meanwhile a bottle of milk is now going for 15 USD 🙈

[@dritemolawzbks8574]

Where is milk $15 in America? USD is the world's reserve currency, and doesn't have out-of-control inflation. That's far-reich BS.

[@bonefishgrill6382]

@@dritemolawzbks8574 meaning a bottle of milk in Lebanon is going for the equivalent of 15 USD dummy 🤦‍♂️
