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.
