This is not a livable model, and it will implode. Lebanon has already been experiencing a free-fall collapsing economy altogether, which only has been able to mildly recover in the past two years.

Lebanon’s economy barely gets a moment to recover before another crisis hits each shock tightening the squeeze and pushing the country deeper into fragility. A cycle that refuses to break. #LebanonCrisis #EconomicCrisis #MiddleEast https://t.co/J9aKws0Rlf
