Minimum wage means that you can fill up your car once, costing your whole wages(!). Hold Your Fire! Episode 6: Lebanon is Falling Apart

@prologic@twtxt.net no one I know gets paid weekly. Make everything monthly, and I could subscribe to that definition.

@prologic@twtxt.net Agreed. So, yeah, that was a poignant example, for me, of how untenable the situation is there at the moment. 400% inflation, a 48-hour warning that all the patients in the ICU of the country’s top hospital would die if they couldn’t source electricity(!), etc.

The gold was last counted in 1996! And an audit of the central bank has been stalled many times. Is it still there? Unreal.
