Power generators making a comeback in Beirut

Beirut is currently experiencing 3 hours of power rationing a day, and even though setting up big private power generators and offering subscriptions to the people is illegal in the city (unlike other areas), I started seeing these flyers in Tarik El-Jadida since last week.

And I expect to see more of these now that Gibran Bassil is calling to increase the rationing in Beirut and stating earlier that whoever bares 3 hours of power cut a day can actually handle 3 additional hours, totally disregarding that he’s actually talking about the business center of the country!

    hahah yes he did!

    @R
    People can eventually adapt to extra hours of power cut, but did you think about all the companies operating in Beirut? These entities will eventually be forced to buy private generators to remain active, and bare the extra cost of fuel every month.
    And of course, shortly after they’ll be increasing the cost of their goods and services. Are you ready to handle that?

    The increase in the cost of their goods and services have been going up for no reason lately.

    Even before the wage increase was approved, prices went up absurdly!
