Remember When We Found Chickens In Electricite Du Liban?
Just in case you needed more reasons to demonstrate how inefficient our ruling class really is, we decided to share a little throwback.
Remember the chickens who made a home out of Lebanon’s greatest institution, Electricite du Liban?
Back in 2018, an insane video went viral on social media, showing cages of chickens, quail, chicks, and eggs found on a basement floor near the parking area for EDL’s main building.
The video stirred a humorous comparison over the company’s ability to provide around-the-clock power to these chickens, but not to citizens who have been struggling with Lebanon’s dire electricity crisis and daily power cuts for years on end.
According to a report by MTV, the birds were well-kept, benefiting from 24-hour electricity, light, warmth, and appropriate nutrition over a period of 3 months.
Fast forward two years later, Lebanon’s electricity is worse than ever, with threats of complete power cuts looming in when subsidies are lifted on fuel in a few months.
Don’t you just love it when your public funds are put to good use?
