Șaorma de 13 dolari care a împărțit o țară în două: „Avem o clasă care trăiește și o clasă care așteaptă să moară”

In Lebanon, a $13 sandwich has sparked a debate highlighting the growing divide between the affluent and those struggling to survive. The Glow Paradise restaurant's "Chic Taouk" has drawn criticism for its high price amid a financial crisis, yet it sold over 20,000 units in 11 days. This situation reflects the stark reality of a country where four out of five families struggle to afford basic necessities. The economic collapse since 2019 has decimated the middle class, with inflation soaring and many businesses closing. The contrasting reactions on social media reveal deep societal divides, as some view the sandwich as a luxury while others see it as a symptom of broader economic issues.
