I have family and friends living in Lebanon. The explosion destroyed the windows of most homes in Beirut. Apartments of my family, friends, and colleagues have been shattered. Even the ones living dozens of kilometers away from Beirut. It's horrible, what pure incompetence can do to a people already living in poverty and under the covid-stress. I hope something good comes out of this...

What good do you expect out of this mess? Like, some other location fixed their storage strategy to avoid same fate?

Change the whole governmental bodies. Build a new constitution. Hold new elections. Create a government that acts and builds, not one that talks and promises. Something that can lift this poor, small, desperate country out of its misery. I'm hoping for such changes...

Tear down and build a new state? Sounds like the recipe for a war
