A rhetorical trick used by evil pple in #Lebanon say the wife of #RiadPonzi, when confronted: they ask a question "How much did they pay you?" No matter what you answer, you've lost. But ONLY if you answer. Instead, put another Q, s.a. "Did you stop beating cancer patients..." — PolitiTweet.org

4) My problem is the surge of statist ideas by young idealists driven by honest-but-incompetent pple such as Charbel Venezuela. https://t.co/yDaBlqjK39 — PolitiTweet.org

3) The Brazilian Paulo Salim Maluf used to say "rouba mas faz": I steal but deliver. Pbm in Lebanon isn't parasites & corruption. It is parasites killing their host! Patronage is worse than corruption. I would settle for a Maluf over both an incompetent but honest technocrat. — PolitiTweet.org

2) The point is: Lebanon can't afford the stalemate. You don't pick the least corrupt one, but the one who understands business enough to *not* block the growing adaptation by industry post #RiadPonzi. Others are both corrupt & stupid: like parasites that kill their host. — PolitiTweet.org

Mikati might be part of the old school in Lebanon, but he is a real businessman & made much of his money outside the country. If you *must* stick with the old establishment, he is the most capable of them all. PS: Mikati is also richer (& more solid businessman) than Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

I respect @steve_hanke so this is not a criticism of him but of Reagan. Reagan increased Gov deficit. Same as Trump (even pre-Covid). Clinton (he) was the first in generations to get a balanced budget. Airline deregulation was started by Carter. Nothing is black and white. — PolitiTweet.org

Don't go to resorts where you meet "achievers" on commoditized vacation actively trying to relax. Go to villages (preferably your village of origin) & interact whith locals who can teach you how to do nothing when there is nothing to do. — PolitiTweet.org
