Are you saying that Pharrell is not, in fact, happy?

Nor have I, but I've met plenty that don't want to pay for them.

Is it? Considering the shear amount of traffic through that airport I think they handle things incredibly well. I've certainly used far worse airports.

Yup, some places believe in investing in their people. My employer paid for both of my masters, some of it through virtue of job training so I was also being paid salary for the privilege.

Thank you for doing this AMA.

I have a few questions, and I'll try to word them as best I can.

-In the event that the Assad regime falls from power, what do you see occupying the power vacuum? Other power struggles in the middle east have shown that even a more "democratic" turnover in power can turn violent. Given the religious divisions within Syria, could there perhaps be a mass purge of the Alawites, for instance, if the regime falls?

-Lebanon itself has experienced decades of civil war and is often the victim of incursion from both Syria and Israel. What is your perspective on the Syria regime attacking refugees in the Bekaa valley and along the border?

-Prior to war, unemployment was a big issue in Syria and perhaps helped fueled the eventual rise of the civil war. This is true in other Arab countries as well when relating to their popular uprisings. Does your mother's NGO have any strategy for helping refugees find jobs? If so, are those local to the Middle East, or does it look further abroad to developing nations or the Americas?

Thank you for taking the time.
