تلقيت دعوة صادرة من البطريركية المارونية للنواب "المسيحيين" للمشاركة في خلوة روحية في حريصا في ٥ نيسان ٢٠٢٣.
كنائبة لبنانية وصلت إلى البرلمان ببرنامج انتخابي رافض للطائفية السياسي�� بكل أشكالها وكناشطة سياسية ضد تدخل المؤسسات الدينية كافة في الشأن السياسي العام وانطلاقا من رفضي1/3

Put simply, if an expression is legal, Twitter shall have no right to censor it.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.

Even the computer doesn't trust #RiadSalame!
I try to visit #Lebanon's central blank website (yes blank, not a typo), the browser refuses to go there, warning me this is an unsecure location, where they steal credit cards and stuff.

@dan_azzi @AzzamSandro @LebaneseLira For some yes for others not yet. 95% decline in wealth does not correspond to 95% decline in lifestyle yet; once $ floats fully (eg, customs & taxes), then xrate collapse will fully reflect on prices, given that we are import junkies.

[Khattar Torbey @torbey]

@dan_azzi @AzzamSandro @LebaneseLira I was replying to your point that further deterioration is irrelevant (noise), obviously not arguing about the fact that Lebanese citizens have already lost 95% of the dollar value of their LBP wealth / income. The lesser the income, the more hurtful the deterioration.

@AzzamSandro @dan_azzi @LebaneseLira Income utility is math, functions and derivatives and graphs and the whole shabang

[Khattar Torbey @torbey]

@AzzamSandro @dan_azzi @LebaneseLira ye3ne speaking of derivatives marginal utility of income decelerates as income increases => increase in utility of $ increase at lower income is less than increase in utility of $ increase at higher income. Inverse it : damage from $ loss is stronger at lower than higher income.

[Khattar Torbey @torbey]

@AzzamSandro @dan_azzi @LebaneseLira Look at it from utility function perspective

[Khattar Torbey @torbey]

@dan_azzi @LebaneseLira Mathematically, if ur salary was $5K, now it’s $250, damage is $4750, but dollar lost now is more “damage” than dollar lost when ur salary was $5K, because ur salary now is at or below subsistence level. I would look at the damage function as quadratic rather than linear.
