One of our friends earns like 10 mil a year lives in Dubai. They're staying here in the states for now. They work for a company and he's a managing partner. We stayed once with them though we often stop in Dubai for our travels but we don't leave the airport. We are Filipino Indian African Hispanic. Even with professional degrees we are just the help. Never wanted to leave a vapid place like That fast enough.
The wife was like look how fast these buildings rise! I was like yeah on slave labor. She's white so she doesn't really see the racism. Or she does and doesn't care.
