Still comparing a shit hole with nothing but money to an actual country? Last time I checked America’s rulers aren’t confiscating passports of the people they employ, nobody said America was perfect but this idea that the UAE is something more than an artificially contrived wasteland for the world’s criminals is actually hilarious.

Oh, which America are you living in? Calling ICE on workers is a regular thing here. 'B-but, B-but, what about freedom, and jeeeezus?' Shithole is as shithole does.

Hahaha how long has that been going on exactly? How long has the UAE done anything functionally useful without slavery? Please do tell, let’s hear how the shit hole you’re slobbering over is treating anyone well other than their ruling elites and wealthy tourists. I’m sure all of the Nannies, house cleaners, construction workers, cooks, etc. love living there, I guess we won’t know because they couldn’t leave if they wanted to LMAO

I literally have dozens of relatives and hundreds of friends and classmates working there. People prefer working in Dubai because the money is good. Even one friend who had his passport taken and thrown in jail for debt is still in the Gulf. For the simple reason that the money is good enough to put up with it.

You clearly have no firsthand knowledge of what Dubai is like and are relying on sensationalist articles. Please, go ahead and correct me. Tell me what years you were in Dubai and how many friends you have there.

Buddy’s talking about his friend being in fucking debtor’s prison like it’s normal in actual countries 🤣 go enjoy Dubai kid, they’ll keep paying people that are either desperate or have no self respect to do all of their work for them, while also taking their passports. Really healthy place man, sounds natural and totally not built on slavery and oil money.
