Yeah not listening to that dude. No public investment for you and concentration of wealth and all societal benefit for him. Because he is a “Dubai billionaire” that is supposed to mean something ?

I’m not going to pretend to know much about Dubai. Not like I had a reason to care enough to learn about it. But I know history and humans and unless the wealthy few in that country are very generous as far funding all public goods like healthcare, social safety net, infrastructure for everyone to use, public utility, and services like fire, police, and ems, then my guess is there is a huge chasm in the quality of life of the poor and rich in that country. This is a universal constant when this dynamic exists.

We just have an inflated government system
You have the feds with all their agencies
State with it's legislatures & the many agencies
You have a county
Then have cities with a city council & more agencies
Get rid of all the city agencies & have one county mayor with no city councils
We have way to many cover lapping government agencies wasting our money on people who only find ways of taxing us

They have oil money but also they have taxes like vat, property, corporate, and most of their government revenue come from fees like property registration fee, tourist fee, etc. obviously nobody likes paying taxes

When he says "we", who does he mean? My mom recently when to Dubai and spent time with this fam...they don't pay taxes, housing, get money twice a year cover food.....and most of the workers are effectively slaves.

She almost turned up on those people when she found that last bit out. I'm glad she didn't find out until she was nearly on the plane home. She threw off scarf they make women wear on her way out and stepped on it.
