30 Simple Things Egyptians Can Live Without in 2016

Egyptians deserve the best of what the world has to offer. We deserve food that doesn’t taste like dirt, new cars that aren’t scratched a week later with  knives, internet speed that is faster than your grandmother and hospital emergency rooms that are cleaner than a teenager’s bedroom.

We deserve all that and more, however there are things we need to get rid of first for a happier existence in our beloved country, the mother of Eldonya, Egypt.
