“Let’s have something sweet to lighten up”
This is the mentality of most Kuwaitis after finishing a heavy meal. They think eating sweets (adding more calories) helps burn the calories they just consumed.
A brilliant idea instead of thinking about stopping eating altogether and not consuming beyond their needs and capacity. Or perhaps engaging in activities and sports that burn the strategic fat reserve from head to toe.
This is exactly how the government’s mentality appears when it borrows to address the deficit, instead of reducing excessive accumulation and plugging the numerous sources of waste and extravagance.
Raising fees on people is like eating sweets.
Instead of reducing weight starting with projects that are suspicious, overly large, or of low quality and value. Instead of lightening the load of tons of expatriates brought in by residence permit traders who drain the state’s free services and store billions in cash without social or economic benefit.
And instead of conducting a serious, genuine, honest review of the work environment, production, and industry, alongside laws and prices of large real estate that drain the commercial and economic returns of any local project or foreign investment to the point of canceling or breaking it.
Also, instead of raising the efficiency of its administrative system, it blocks sources of waste such as continuing to accumulate young national talents in a bloated, unsustainable job system that suppresses work, productivity, and life.
And instead of seriously raising the efficiency of utilizing minds, efforts, and irreplaceable time, it takes the lazier path and eats more cake.
Indeed, it’s from us and within us ☺️
Bon appétit!
