It all wentto his hair,” he told a crowd of builders in Washington.Sure, there are ample punchlines for a trial that contains, at its center, a hush money payment to an adult film star. Biden has been studiously avoiding those and doesn’t plan on changing that https://lnkd.in/gUA9JaZx

Lebanese crises and the need for sustainable solutions For the fifth year, Lebanon has been struggling in an economic and financial crisis because of the escalation of the political dispute between Lebanese parties in power. The dispute has become a system crisis that prevents the development of solutions. Meanwhile, the Israeli assaults on Lebanon made the internal situation more complicated and pushed back desirable solutions under the vacuum in the republic presidency and caretaker government, prolonging crisis times.Lebanon's most dangerous issue is not the scale of widespread crises but the failure of those in charge to pay attention to the time factor required to address these crises. Four years elapsed without any solution to mitigate the crisis effects and define ways to solve its causes. Solutions need time to prepare plans and programs and their execution. Every delay in confronting these crises increases complexity and makes solutions more difficult and expensive. https://lnkd.in/gxUYdDbQ
