That's good for you. I am glad. The country indeed needs talented people like yourself. But the issue is elsewhere. Regarding wages, they were higher and dipped very low because of the competition. If we raise wages back to what they were in 2016, half the problem is solved.
Please try to see the point here. I'm not suggesting we raise wages beyond what they were. But at this rate, people are going to starve unless the government steps in and helps create jobs.
In understand you perfectly, this is why i say foreign workers that replace lebanese should go away unconditionally.
And one thing if some business have unreasonably highly paid workers, and some poor people salaries are reduced, thats unfair and should be fixed.
But IMO very few exploit situation, many businesses are lowering salaries because they have no money. They have very little customers, or they are not enough efficient and it is too late to fix that, they are unable to pay rents, their bills and don't expect them to pay full salaries.
You can't force them to pay more. Money wont appear miraculously from nowhere.
What i see realistic, that if we group all together, as i see here many bright minds and we find ideas how to make economy a little bit better, and it will make more jobs. Best - to make something export, so it brings money to country, good - to make more "made in Lebanon" with significant locally added value, even for local consumption.
Let's say i can design and make some electronic devices(local assembly can be here, but this is long term projects), or we assist people to make manufacturing or make it more efficient, or we promote somehow lebanese products in retail...
Maybe we make some telegram channel and discuss?
