Re: Sheikh Maktoum

<<...who let the landlords live their ugly greed unrestrictedly, without any quality control, who let the prices skyrocket, only compensating locals fully, who let entrepreneurs in charge, who barely pay their worker-slaves?>>

<<While we all respect the loss to Dubai surely some concession has to be made to the fact that so many tourists are here who won't understand what is going on!!>>

Concession?
Whatever for?

Why wind the clock forward when it is truly stuck firmly in the past?

Take away the oil revenue, and it's...back to the desert, Bubba, tea towel and fan belt flapping in the breeze.

Having said this, you do get to smile at your bank book from time to time (in the old days, anyway), so all in all, not so bad.

Ah...except for the fools in EK who believed the recruitment info.
Told 'em so a long time ago, but no one paid attention.
A bitter lesson learned, I'm sure.
