The privatization of waste management services in Pakistan, which mainly affects the livelihood of Christians, is actually becoming pretty widespread. More and more countries are being tricked by large multi-national companies to "upgrade" their systems, thereby taking away jobs that were reserved for subsistence workers (mainly Christians in most Islamic-majority countries). This is happening in Egypt, India, and Kenya to name a few. The backload of pickups and trash piling up in Cairo caused many people to rally to bring back the hand-pick ups and sorting used by Christians that worked for centuries. It is just another sign of the end times where common people will have less control of their own lives and have to learn to rely on each other (and the Lord) to exist instead of giving in to demands of "powers" joining forces to rule worldwide. Let us pray believers remain strong to overcome till the Lord's return (esp those in the west who have little idea of hardship). Peace, L'chaim! Jeanne Swartz
