People flock to business. This is nothing new. This is how the first societies started too. Bill Wurtz taught me well...

Dubai is a testament to mans' hubris and It will fall soon enough.

Putting before on the right makes me feel like they nuked the place.

Why is the before on the right? And I spent way too fucking long looking for the Toyota building right where the arrow is pointing :P

Watch it turn into a ghost town when the oil runs out.

Crazy how nature does that.
FLUFFYFINGERS25
Everyone talking about slave labor like the west haven't benefited from it. At least the gulf countries pay them.
TrolleyDolly
They pay them but also take their passports away so that they can't leave the country till their employer allows them. Sad :(
TectonicTerry
Nice relativism, the west put an end to it long ago. Name a single western country with slaves.
d0o0o0d
Every human culture has gone through a period where slavery was a thing.
Mudman2999
But that doesnt mean we should allow it today.
BanesOnAPlane
Yeah they paid them...once...and they won't let them leave bc they've taken their passports.
Polarbit
Is that where ISIS gets all the Toyotas for their technicals?
temperedtorture
The things you can accomplish with bonded nearly free labor from South Asia.
MetaSomma
The weird part is that if you talk to that labor force in person, they're totally cool with it, even excited. Stockholm Syndrome?
MetaSomma
Or is it just because it's the only opportunity they have?
bulletproofsam92
I call bullshit. I know the middle east division of toyota has sold more than enough trucks to build a better skyscraper.

And all America could do with slave labour was cotton picking.

I was in Dubai in the 80s and I can affirm that this picture id's very misleading. It was huge and very modern.

Cool, they added the Toyota logo! That was the difference, right?!

Oil is one hell of a drug.

They're not as oil dependant as they were. It's tourism bro, and slave labor.

Laborers are hires from different countries, have their passports taken by the company, make just enough to pay for company expenses and +

sometimes just a bit to send back home. They usually have to pay off a large debt to the company for transport and paperwork. They can't +
n0n53n53
Leave without paying off their debt, so they stay and work in deplorable conditions. This is how all the buildings in Dubai are built
Jacob12jr
Actually manufacturing
willek
I'd like to see what happens there when they run out of oil..
Remmon1
They did in fact consider that. Which is why they went big on tourism and are diversifying. Surprisingly well managed, in fact.
Legeth
Well , when they run out of it , we do as well.
willek
No we don't.. Oil will just get more expensive.
antifolkhero
It's amazing what can be built with slave labor.

that's why I refused a job offer over there !
lordwank
question how does one work there without becoming a slave
DickMercenary
Reading the contracts before you sign them helps. Not letting the company handle your visa as well.
denigreur
Management. Lot of international companies and the people managing makes huge bucks.

How come there are never terror attacks in places like Dubai and UAE?

There are, we don't usually hear about it. https://www.thenational.ae/uae/men-who-plotted-terror-attack-on-uaq-beach-bar-are-jailed-1.41303

5 years in jail? all they did was give this dude street cred...
Bytencoder
Was this an actual attack or just a plot?
FLUFFYFINGERS25
Cause terrorist mostly target western countries. Something to do with the Iraq war and the millions of deaths that acquired .

That's not true at all.

So they do Trump THEN Obama?
myusername1988
I didn't know this for some reason. Cool.
Meatstallion
Yeah in Arabic (and most Asian) language the text is read right to left. Which makes sense since most people are right handed.
TheDarkNerd
The reason for left-to-right is so that if you're right-handed, your hand doesn't smudge the ink while writing.
Meatstallion
Couldn't you just lift your hand? I'm a lefty, so, ya know?
onlyhalfghost
Arabic is written right to left, so someone from Dubai would put it on the right.
MetaSomma
Except this is written in English. Yes I understand the irony of that statement considering the Arabic numerals

Did I say words? Do you think numbers are written the same in all languages?
hurradurra
Like, say, Arabic numerals?
aceebro
They are, actually. When numbers are written out there are many different symbols and spellings, but "1234567890" is fairly universal now.

Amazing what the right amount of slave labour achieves. Just ask the Egyptians.
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
That's a myth these days. The pyramids were built by paid workers.
FLUFFYFINGERS25
And Americans
iliekpotatoe
Egyptian here, we actually have very good jobs, however, i cant say the same for indians and people from pakistan
allthenamesaregone
I meant the pyramids, way back when.
Rifneno
Yeah, uhh, the pyramids weren't built with slave labor. That's a long disproven myth.
diphenhydraminehcl50mg

tumalow2
Archaeologist here, the pyramids were built by paid laborers not slaves
Thorbane
Weren't the laborers usually also farmers that worked on the pyramids during the dry season?
mbos14
yes. tough there where equal to greater amount of craftsmen and scribes.
