All I know is Clinton made a killing with Dubai...

There are a lot of moneys to be made with that seeing is how they are their own Island so they can have gambling, drinking, orgies, prostitution.

OffShore Accounts is what makes rich people richer and that is a very tasty treat to get into.

 

[B~E]

Dubai is trying to diversify its economy, away from an oil-based economy, to a finance and tourism based one. While the process is well underway, Dubai is still entierly dependant on oil. This is what oil-rich countries are supposed to look like, if they werent government by incompetant dictarors and ripped appart by ethnic strife.

The dubai spaceport idea is poop, for two reasons. First, such a spaceport would be located in space, and second, it would be an international project.

Last summer I was in Quatar, which is competing with Dubai as far as developement is concerned, and it was one of the most disturbing experiences of my life. These former camel riders not only consume unforgivingly vast amounts of energy to turn their hellish deserts into artificial mega-cities, where nothing can survive without air-condition, they also breed like there is no tomorrow. Seeing all these rich arabs in their white robes, with their many wives covered in black from head to toe and their 2.9 children each, I remembered the following arab proverb:
My father rode a camel, I am riding a Porche, my son will ride the Concord and his son will ride a camel...

I will have a mansion in that city. That's were it's at, quite obviously, and that's where I'll be at. Too bad you guys won't be. Win some lose some right?

 

[Galatia]

Enjoy the exotic temperatures of 120F at midnight, mr. Eatshrooms. We will certainly not be there

 

[EatShrooms]

I live in the sonoran desert. They get a ton more rain than us. I'd rather live there.

 

[Sogeking]

The UAE loves the United States and vice-versa.*

Dubai is supposed to run out of oil in 2014-2016 I beileve, correct me if I am wrong. They are beginning to rely more on tourism like someone said. I get to go there this summer. =)
