We'd be lucky if inflation only hits 25% by the end of 2026. This disaster just keeps getting worse.. thank you tamara, yassine, nawwaf and jozaf.

This new research on US unicorn startups is really interesting.

Some key facts from the report:

1. Immigrants founded or cofounded 455 of America’s 775 privately held billion-dollar startups, equal to 59% of all US unicorns.

2. 66% of all US unicorns were founded or cofounded by immigrants or the children of immigrants.

3. 79% of US unicorns have either an immigrant founder or an immigrant in a key leadership role.

4. The 455 immigrant-founded US unicorns have a combined valuation of $5 trillion.

5. That $5 trillion valuation is larger than the total stock-market value of companies listed in all but 7 countries.

6. Including immigrant-founded unicorns that went public since 2016 pushes the total value above $5.8 trillion.

7. The number of immigrant-founded US unicorns rose from 50 in 2018 to 455 in 2026.

8. 24% of US unicorns have a founder who first came to America as an international student.

Beyond sad. Completely devastating.

"...it is a transformation, total transformation that could last for years. And they will not be years of quiet suffering, they will be long, grinding, destructive years, with no clear end and no promise of anything resembling normalcy."

[Ali Hashem علي هاشم @Alihashem]

Two of southern Lebanon’s main cities, Tyre and Nabatieh, now face the direct threat of Israeli occupation. Israeli forces have advanced to within 5 km of Nabatieh, reaching Zawtar Al-Sharqieh, while residents of Tyre have already received evacuation orders.
The Lebanese government has no intention of mounting a military defense, leaving negotiations as its only recourse. Which is quite awkward. Hezbollah’s FPV drones can inflict costs on advancing Israeli forces, but cannot halt an invasion. Iran’s condition, that Israel refrain from attacking Beirut and the southern suburbs, carries no real operational weight, as Netanyahu is clearly pursuing a new facts-on-the-ground strategy regardless.
More Israeli soldiers will be killed as more Lebanese land will be taken. Our villages have been systematically razed over these past months, and now the cities themselves are in the crosshairs.
Anyone waiting for a quick resolution should abandon that hope. I don’t see this as a crisis that could be measured in weeks or months, it is a transformation, total transformation that’s could last for years. And they will not be years of quiet suffering, they will be long, grinding, destructive years, with no clear end and no promise of anything resembling normalcy.

Is the drop from 75% in August 2025 to 50% in May 2026 a dip or does it indicate a trend?
