Good. Fuck Dubai. It's a human rights abuse shithole designed and built by the ultra-rich, for the ultra-rich.

I was just wondering if they'd free the ~~slaves~~ migrant workers, now. I guess we know the answer to that.
There's plenty of honest workers there running the tourism industry with suddenly no income.
War benefits nobody but the ultra rich.
So no, this is not "good"
I get that they migrated there to work to better their lives, but they went to do the dirty work of an exploitative industry. I don't think it's right that they were exploited in turn or that they're in danger of losing everything. But I mean, leopards eating faces and all that.
The sooner Dubai disintegrates, the sooner the machine that imports and exploits these people grinds to a halt. I stand by it being a good thing.
If you build a Hollywood set in a war torn desert, it's nothing but fake luxury.
Oh nooooo. Guess they gotta release all their slaves
