I’m Lebanese. It’s been a few months since this was posted. We need help. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes. I’m 14 and I have no future. “Will I be able to go to school?” “Will I have enough money for food?” This is a cry for help. Please help us. Please.

@@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.

If you've never visited a third world country, you have no idea about the real horrors of living in one. I pray for the people of Lebanon, that they will see better days in time to come. I also pray for my country Sri Lanka, that it doesn't get this bad, because clearly we too are heading in this direction.

The scary thing is, some western countries could even head this way in future. The sheer amount of corruption, the centralisation of power and money in a tiny elite, growing gap between rich and poor, tribalism in politics and identity groups - these are serious things happening rn. I think we’re going down this route in the next 20-30 years ourselves.

I lived in that place from 2016 to 2018. The gap between the rich and poor back then was so astonishing. People living beyond their means. Pride is really high. Everyone is in debt and with nothing to sell or produce. Religion, politics and every other sector or industry are corrupt to the core. Everything is over valued and people are ok with that. Actually, you would be shamed culturally if you want to live within your means.

I agree! they have a huge ego and a short tunnel vision add to that the lack of loyalty to their other countryman from any other sect, racism, cruelty and human trafficking of African and Asian workers. Also they’re very short tempered. I’ve lived there before 2006 war! It was a paradise back then but it was a house built on sand by petromoney to entertain the oppressed rich golf tourists so they don’t start a rebellions or dare to demand freedom for women, gay, alcohol etc in gulf countries. 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. They still think they are great people, educated and cultured (because they know the names of all of the famous French fashion designers lol) and they still believe that they deserve better. I’m so sorry but you deserve what you got. My heart aches for the pregnant woman who couldn’t find the magnesium because her fellow men were busy importing hot coutures and fancy cars.

Currency collapse , Lebanon needs to go back to using money gold and silver., hard money . Gold and silver puts an anchor around the bankers neck and stops reckless lending . Gold and silver limits the ability of Central banks reckless monetary policies allowing government out of control spending and limits its size and ability to steel from the people. This is a restructure after years of misallocation of capital , currency debasement, government stimulus and programs.

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.
