For a greater form of good

استكمال للمثل العربي
"فاقد الشيء لا يعطيه"

هو ان تتوقع العطاء (عادتاً) لمن لديه فائض…

لذك، نرى ان:

قمة الثراء… في العطاء
قمة العلو… في التواضع
و قمة القوة… في الإنصاف

Housing affordability in #Kuwait has become a major concern for many families. The house-to-income ratio stands at over 15 times, classifying the country as ‘Impossibly Unaffordable’. @shalbader presents a model to understand the crisis and inform policy

Bibi’s thinking on war.
Strike first and be victorious.

Everyone likes a winner… US alliance will take care of itself even if there was initial objection.

From his Autobiography “My story”

[Sulaiman H. Al-Bader @Shalbader]

هناك ٣ محاكم يُعرض عليها الانسان

١- محكمة الدولة، حيث يحكم القاضي
٢- محكمة المجتمع، حيث يحكم الناس
٣- و محكمة الآخرة… حيث يحكم الله سبحانه وتعالى

وإن تَمَكَّن البعض من التحايل على المحكمتين الأولى والثانية، فلا مفر من العدل في الآخرة على يد ’خير الحاكمين‘

Number of UAE students studying in the USA halves.

Going through old files and surprised on how well this article, read in Dec 2007, aged.

Title for remaining GCC countries was

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦: Just getting warmed up
Qatar 🇶🇦: Full of energy
Bahrain 🇧🇭: Banking on finance
UAE 🇦🇪: Diversified and dynamic
Oman 🇴🇲: After the storm

Why do people commit Evil?

A short thread on my take…

@GRDecter @TaviCosta Chart this with interest rates and youll see a different result. Volker started hiking (enough) end of 79. The idea is “keeping at it”… From Paul Volker’s book of the same title.

Lesson:
Over the past few months, we hear experts talking, with some confidence, about how they expect things to play out in the coming year. A lesson from the past 3 examples is to leave room for events you can't anticipate and be prepared adjust as circumstances change.

3 Observations and a lesson

[Sulaiman H. Al-Bader @Shalbader]

Obs. 3:
In January 2022, most analysts -including Henry Kissinger- did not expect war (Russia invading Ukraine) to be the pivotal geopolitical event of the year; if not the decade.

The idea of bringing the World Cup to the world is only right. The Middle East is full of fans, but has never hosted the event before. Nor has any Muslim country. Qatar is a perfectly good choice https://t.co/qXg4ISLM0H

The six #GCC nations need to coordinate on a minimum contribution to their Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) as they have done in OPEC to ensure oil prices stability and prepare for a post-oil world. @Saoudaalfuraih for the blog
