Their infrastructure was already hideously battered: everything had been deteriorating for years---there were acute shortages, including shortages of food and medical supplies. This kind of neglect goes with the territory of broken societies.
We'd better start bracing ourselves here in the US. Our infrastructure has been bled dry for more than forty years, to transfer public wealth into the private pockets of the hyper wealthy.
We're already seeing bridges and buildings collapse, and the weaknesses that have been created by right wing misrule are being hideously exposed as the pandemic disrupts supply chains. But there's way worse to come. What happened in Beirut is a little shadow of coming events.
So the "bum's rush" is what what bouncers and police did to bums--removing them from an establishment with disdain and often force. Getting kicked out of a place was referred to as "getting the bum's rush": getting treated like a bum.
I suspect they are looking for "bullrush" here: to charge at someone like an enraged bull.
Coworker who served with U.S. Army in Beirut years ago told me yesterday about his unit getting called to a warehouse full of old munitions. One of the locals was kicking a piece around the floor. The Americans backed slowly away. Might have been the same place.
GOOD! At least two school superintendents in Kentucky have overruled their school board's decision to open for in-person classes. One was Fayette County: the second-largest district in the state. Understandably upset but still very stupid parents are demanding in-person classes.

Yum, I love dragonfruit!
How much do I have to eat before I breathe fire?
We're all just hoping for the best!
Saw that too. So now supporting a candidate in an election is 'cancel culture'? WTF?
and they care what you say Kelly.
They let politics into sports ? I love Jackie Robinson day. Everyone wears #42. But no games this year. :(
Carlson/Arpaio? Carpaio can be their bromance name. I would love seeing the two of them be votestomped into oblivion.
Did I read that right? The Democrats we're funding Kobach's campaign? That seems like a bad use of money.

I remember a study that showed if you blew up a pancake to the size of Kansas, it would be dramatically less flat than Kansas.
