    Beirut, Lebanon – Lebanon’s council of ministers has elected Karim Souaid as central bank governor – a candidate backed by the country’s bank lobby and a businessman who many say is emblematic of the malaise Lebanon is suffering.

    Just out of a brutal war with Israel, Lebanon is in dire need of reconstruction and recovery money. Since 2019, Lebanon has suffered through one of modern history’s worst economic crises. State services have been battered, including the electricity sector,…

    When the news broke that Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy, died in their home more than a week, maybe two, before anyone realized, the story haunted me — not because of the celebrity, but because it happens more often than we like to think.

    As someone who works in healthcare and with an aging parent of my own, it hit close to home. Too close.
