@IC_Lebanon Someone should remind the minister that safety & security of citizens, students or otherwise, are the sole responsibility of the Leb gov. Asking schools or other sectors to ensure the safety of their constituents in place of the state is absolutely absurd
The fastest way to lose a country’s population- especially its middle class - to emigration is by threatening its educational system.. and from there on, it’s a downward spiral
١/٦ من المؤسف ان نائبة ترفض تعليم أطفال وشباب #لبنان في حال أمكن ذلك، وتنتقص من مواطنية الذين يخالفوها الرأي، وتخوّنهم وتطلب خططا مبنية على داتا كأنها في السويد وليس في بلد مفلس ودولة تحت العدوان.
لذا لا بدّ من محاكاتها هي والألف شخص الذين يوافقونها الرأي بالعقل وليس بالشعبوية:
Banks can only operate when systems are open and staff is present (ie banks are open). So as long as the decision is enforced, Leb banks are only operational 3 hrs / day, from 8:30am-11:30am (NMT), 9:30am-12:30pm (GMT+3) #لن_نلتزم#lebanonfiles#lebanon24#يلعن_الساعة
I tabulated how the govt’s decision to keep the time unchanged in place of shifting to daylight saving will shorten the day of the financial sector by an hour. As if our financial sector can still afford shorter days..
@aliamoub It seems we have excess energy in this country and don’t know how to deploy it except by shortening the daytime by one hour for a whole month #artificial_lighting#Artificial_Intelligence 💡 great idea to burn more fossil fuel 💡
The decision of not changing the time is a typical example of how decisions in this country are made. On whim. Hastily. To please constituencies with petty things. Without an assessment of impacts or reasonable consideration.
saving our $, safeguarding what we can safeguard from our BOP - in a country where energy is at the core of its problems. Very smart indeed. Anyway, it’s not too late to reverse this miserable decision. Admit that you are not infallible and for once, do the right thing.
“Leb is at a dangerous crossroads, and without rapid reforms will be mired in a never - ending crisis.” says the Staff Concluding Statement of the IMF. Lebanon is spiraling down quickly into a state of irreversible anarchy. #imf#lebanon#anarchy
Overnight, US authorities & regulators took the decision to wipe out bank shareholders and bond holders first, aiming to protect all depositors. After 3.5 years, the Leb oligarchs are still wiping out small depositors, shamelessly clenching onto their interests and refusing to
يللي بيقبض بال$ ويللي بيقبض باللبناني بيستفيد من دولرة الاسعار بهذا الظرف. وقتا بصير في استقرار بالعملة الوطنية، كل حادث الو حديث. بعدين يحق للمستهلك انو يكون في شفافية بالاسعار. ما بدنا نشوف كل يوم سعر. بدنا نقارن سعر يللي اشتريتو من سبينس مبارح بسعر يللي اشتريتو من عون اليوم.
مش احسن ادفع على ال ٨٢،٠٠٠ - حتى لو يللي قدامي دافع عل ٨٠،٠٠٠ - بدل ما انا و هو ندفع عل ٩٠،٠٠٠ مثل ما مسعرين التجار و السوبرماركت "ليحموا حالن" من تقلب سعر الصرف؟؟ #صار_الوقت@sarelwa2et
Whoever is fiercely opposing pricing in dollars is making a killing under what they claim to be “protective fx shield”… stop abusing consumers like every day for the past 39 months. Time to come out clean
Pricing in dollars cannot be equated with making more profits. Enough populism.
If anything, the decision, which was long overdue,would remove the protective fx shield of companies and thus reduce their profits
Unless you want to be ridiculed, stop saying otherwise
