Dubai generating massive waste
With all this oil money coming in, these Arabs are having a building boom while the rest of the world is suffering the consequences, but it will come a time that the oil revenue will be depleated, and then they will come down from their high horse and sell their buildings to buy food from the international community, “Good weather and bad weather does not last forever”
