🇱🇧 The cost of living in Lebanon has skyrocketed.

The Cabinet must take immediate actions, starting with removing the February gasoline tax.

I can't fathom how a whole group of policymakers thought it was a good idea to tax something that drives up the cost of everything else, especially during high inflation & wartime, & which doesn't even go to the benefit of the whole population.

While people are also paying 2 electricity bills, 2 water bills, have their savings "stuck" in a bank, etc etc.. & while no accountability is in sight.

Absolutely mediocre!!!

A single family was so obsessed with its own glory that it built a tomb covered, floor to ceiling, in marble and precious stones. The work took so long that the family went completely extinct before it was finished...

This is the Chapel of the Princes in Florence, the mausoleum of the Medici, the dynasty that ruled the city and bankrolled the Renaissance.

It sits behind the Basilica of San Lorenzo, beneath the second-largest dome in Florence, surpassed only by Brunelleschi's. And inside, there is not a single bare surface: every wall, every column, every inch is sheathed in dark, gleaming stone.

The Medici wanted a tomb that would rival the great royal mausoleums of Europe and announce that they were not merely bankers, but rulers chosen, almost, by God.

So they did not decorate the chapel with paint. They covered it in pietre dure: precious and semi-precious stones, porphyry, jasper, lapis lazuli, coral, mother-of-pearl, cut and fitted together by hand like a vast jigsaw of jewels. The work was so difficult and so costly that the family founded an entire workshop just to produce it, the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, which still exists in Florence today.

The scale of the ambition is almost hard to believe. Construction began in 1604. Along the lower walls, craftsmen inlaid the coats of arms of sixteen Tuscan cities in glowing stone. Six grand dukes were entombed in niches of porphyry and granite. And still the work went on, decade after decade, generation after generation.

It went on so long that the Medici dynasty died out...

The last of the line, Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, used part of her fortune to push the chapel toward completion, but she did not live to see it done. The floor of inlaid stone was not finished until 1962, more than three and a half centuries after the first stone was laid, and more than two hundred years after the family it was built to glorify had vanished from the earth.

The Medici built it to make themselves immortal, and it worked. The family is gone but you can still stand inside the room they built to be remembered by, surrounded on every side by their refusal to be forgotten...

The Israeli military declares the biggest attack across Lebanon since the start of what it calls Operation Roaring Lion, hitting Beirut, Bekaa and the south with 100 simultaneous strikes. The IDF admits it’s hitting civilian areas saying Hezbollah is ‘embedded in the heart of civilian areas’. There’re likely to be substantial casualties
