I want to visit Dubai. Is it as taboo and beautifully appointed as Cuba, or are we actually allowed to go there?
I know exactly where I'd stay...

While Dubai's backbone was built off oil it currently accounts for very little of their revenue today, they are growing and focusing on being the world hub for finance, tourism, IT and the biggest of everything. Cost of living aside I don't see why everyone is so in love with Dubai, they really don't like American's there, unless your worth 9 figures I wouldn't anticipate a warm welcome. As an American Jew I would NEVER go to Dubai, they really don't like my kind there. Besides when humans are left to their own devices they tend to be self destructive, Dubai is a city full of billionaires with the mentality of a 5 year olds. I'm quite sure they will create their own demise sooner then later.
As a whole the middle east will drop of the map as quick as it rose, as alternative energy becomes more feasible and oil production starts slowing(we are 20 years away from oil production being approximately 1/2 what it is today), just think a 5% decrease in production causes all sorts of global problems and price increases, imagine what will happen with a 50% decrease. People who acknowledge that they don't believe in banks or saving will be up shits creek with no paddle when there stream of money runs out, Dubai will not be able to survive if its surrounded by broke desert tribes. It may not happen during our lifetime, but the writing is on the wall that these oil wealthy nations will return to cave dwelling nomadic tribes not long after they run out of oil.

What does you being an "American Jew" have anything to do with those sick ass cars? FYI early civilization started in the middle east so I don't see that region going anywhere anytime soon unless ignorant Americans decide to blow it up. Get off the HATERade.

It has nothing to do with us, when most of these oil producing nations start producing less and less oil they will have less and less money. Nations who refuse to save when in that situation and live high and mighty are writing their own death sentence. All we have to do is find alternative energy and they will destroy themselves and the wealth of the middle east will become a folklore we tell our kids about.

The United States won't let that happen. Not that i'd complain if it did, and hey, if Isreal went down with them then

Anyway, the cars are awesome. I won't hate on their success. If I was a billionaire I'd probably spend insane amounts of cash, but I know I would also be giving to charity as well and help those less fortunate than myself. I just hope they are also choosing to help their people succeed get out of poverty because I know their governments sure don't.

Aren't Donald Trump's children pushed by their dad to learn how to run a business on their own? They're successful on their own as it is, well, at least Ivanka Trump and her boobies are...
Anyway my point was to enjoy these cars as they are, not from the circumstances in which they came to be (owned by Arab oil barons)

Who knows if their children have any business or survival skills worth a damn. I wouldn't be surprised if they suffered a huge collapse after their oil supply dried up either.

I'm gonna declare this shit right now.
That shit happening out there is not fair.
I could work for the rest of my life and still not afford any of those cars.
Emo-ness aside,
WOW.

Yes, this countries invasion of the middle east has nothing to do with the current price of crude oil
Just taking a while stab at it, but i'm guessing you're a bush supporter
