… and recalls what 1 Lebanese Lira used to buy him in the old days!

I was on my way to work this morning when I saw this Porsche Panamera with a parliamentary plate number.

While members of the Lebanese parliament can afford such luxury car (priced at around $150,000?) from the salary that they work “really hard” to earn at the end of each month from the taxes we pay for (especially on gas and phone bills), the average employee in Lebanon can hardly afford a Kia Pianto, and of course cries his heart out when visiting Lebanon Motor Show.

The crude oil price has been falling below $70 in the last few days, but for some reason some genius here in Lebanon decided to increase it by 600 L.L today, and he has been doing so for the last month!!

Seriously man, whoever you are, prices reached more than 30,000L.L / 20 liters last year when crude oil price was skyrocketing with over $130 / barrel!! How come it is selling for half the price now, and you still insist on charging us 31,000 L.L for 20 liters of gas? From which university did you graduate?

If WE the Lebanese people believe that WE kicked Syria’s ass out of our borders by sitting in the Martyr’s square (denying that USA, KSA, and Egypt had something to do with it), then we of course can do some another sit-in to call for decreasing the gas price.

But NO! We don’t hit the streets unless some political monkey leader orders us to do it!
