"Wouldn't that cause some diplomatic issues?"
Ahahahahah good one
Thank you for reacting to this, great video!!
Great channel
Real good reaction, it was really interesting to hear what you think of this!
You also overlooked the biggest fact, since these workers are migrants, and not actually citizens, they are not even given the few rights citizens would get. No trial by jury if there is a breach in contract, and no responsibility for the Emir. Any strike is met with government force.
The basis as to why the International community lets this continue is either ignorance of this issue or for money. The UAE is an oil rich country who’s allegiance is closer to the west than others in the Middle East, and therefore doesn’t warrant an invasion. It’s also not uncommon that the industries in Dubai are a part of some western company’s supply chain, and therefore impacts their bottom line as well.
The funny thing is I am from Kerala, South India. A large portion of that States revenue come from remittances sent back by Keralites slaving away in the Emirates and other oil rich Middle Eastern States. They are quite often subject to poor treatment. And then when they come back, they have no problem dishing it right back to North Indian migrants who migrate to Kerala looking for jobs.
It’s not “slaving away” when they aren’t going against their will, u should get your facts right.
@@user-qp7rz7ii2j Modern slavery apologist... Paid Emirati bot?
@BladeCast no need to be so defensive here. as someone who live in a gcc country and have an experience with work with people around i can assure u that everyone can leave anytime except these ones who signed an agreement to work in several years. After they finish their agreement they’re free to go, Simple as that.
@@user-qp7rz7ii2j slaving away is also I believe a colloquial term. It can also mean working hard or toiling away. Also, I can give you links where domestic maids from South Asia, Indonesia and Philippines are subject to all sorts of abuse including sexual. But, if you look at any third world country, it's much, much worse.
@BladeCast I didn't even mean slavery. I meant slaving away as in working hard in harsh conditions. I don't know why he got wound up on that one.
When I saw this video I really wanted you to react to this and you did and that's awesome!
You're right people might come more for tourism than actually live there. But wasn't that the idea for all the other things like palms and burj khalifa. - To promote tourism.
And what promotes more tourism than getting away from your western city into a land of culture with different ambience, architecture & lifestyle.
it could have been Numbani or a recreation of Baghdad from before the mongols. when you have a financial cushion giving innovators who have no outlet a chance rarely goes wrong, especially in variety.
Hey CG, real life lord has a second channel called Bioark, where he talks about animals! It’s still pretty new, so it wouldn’t take you long to get caught up!

I must add this much later that Bertolt Brecht is my favourite playwright (but I haven't paid much attention to his poetry). Not that I've actually seen his plays -- there was a television version in the 1990s in Finnish TV of "Mahagonny". I've read all that have been translated into Finnish.
Anyway, his style has been called "epic theatre" or "didactic theatre" that reminds the viewer that this is theatre, e.g. discouraging emphatising with the characters. This is called the "estrangement effect". It's very political and socially aware (in the timeframe of ca. 1920-1955). My favourite plays are, and they are considered classics generally, "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny", "The Threepenny Opera", "Mother Courage and Her Children".
Sorry, got a little sidetracked. Not much to react to.
13:58 He didn't say rich. He said Jobs. Everywhere in the world people need jobs. So all you need to do is provide jobs and it helps the economy by putting purchases in logs. So you know what people buy so you push product. But if you pay people nothing. You do not know what sells. So you make no money. So its self defeating. You need people with jobs an to be paid fairly.
In that video i saw a comment saying that Dubai's skycrapers are running out of cooling system and will probably collapse.
That doesn’t make sense- how would they know?, how is a cooling system related to a building integradey?
@@Zaabi well they made a big text about it, you can probAbly find it amongst the top comments of the video
@@niftylittlename I think we are missing context here :D
@@thatindiandude4602 yeah, my porpuse with this comment was trying to find someone to confirm but everyone's deosnt know just like me.
@@niftylittlename well they don’t know shit- because a cooling system has nothing to do with a building structure
While I do agree with his overall point, #3 is more of a personal preference. I kind of get what he's saying but CG is spot on. That point feels more like European snobbery than anything else. Also, I get why American city planning gets a laugh from Eurocentric individuals but it's an extremely complicated topic who's history is a result of necessity rather than preference. It annoys me that people continue to ignore how huge the United States is.
I agree 100% you can’t compare the US to small European countries.
I mean yeah, but literally his whole point was it makes no fucking sense in Dubai. It makes no sense especially when the science of city planning knows what bullshit it causes by the time they started. It makes no fucking sense in most places in the US but people were taught to think public transit is for poor people and literally 10,000 reasons built into the fabric of our laws and economy.
They didn't have to start with the bullshit we make do with after 100 years of bad decisions. literally none of the decisions you frame as necessity (they aren't, but I will grant you that it was complicated) well none of the conditions that made that exist in Dubai.
@@Souledex I don't disagree and that wasn't really what I was commenting on. Of course this plan makes no fucking sense in Dubai. My point is his back sided criticism of the US way of city planning overlooks real historical issues within the US. If he's using it as comic relief to justify his points of how shitty the city planning in Dubai is then his disdain for such city planning is worthy of note and can be criticized.
If you don't understand the complexities of states vs. federal government in the US history you really don't understand the complex issues involved with public transportation in America.
You also fail to comprehend that literally 50% of this country in most of it's history has no vested interest in public transportation because it wouldn't impact them; at least on the surface level. That's why state wide public transportation measures are traditionally difficult to pass. People are more willing to vote for their local schools than a project 150 miles away from them.
@@chaost4544 that’s not why or how it failed nor is that in the slightest bit representative of the demographics of most states. Besides that it’s just cities funding it most of the time, except in Texas where the state government has a number of laws actively preventing cities from trying to manage their traffic in a remotely rational way.
I’m pursuing a masters in urban planning and this has been a passion interest of mine since junior high. It’s completely valid to throw shade on American urban planning without a bunch of qualifiers for people who get butthurt; it’s not valid to suggest the solution is just a basic ass high speed rail or subway system. Some of the problems were not known when GM and Ford’s cartel slowly dismantled the streetcar industry (way more complicated than the meme but this did have a meaningful effect), and many of our infrastructure challenges aren’t just car and road related, like every building constructed in Texas over the last 20 years.
It can’t be solved the same way European urbanism naturally developed and there are plenty of challenges unique to their urban development that many places have been pretty dumb about solving. But don’t be a snowflake because our society has terrible urban governance and regional planning.
@@ryanschrum9872 Your logic is garbage though, you can easily compare any european nation to the us.
YEEEES
It would be great if the workers that were taken advantage of had people that cared if they complained of their conditions
Burj khalifa has hotels in it
eeeeew, thats disgusting, Tower of poop

12:30 I've a question tho. Why bother going to Dubai for tourism when all I've to see is skyscrapers and American suburbs. I can just visit new York or many other American major cities and it'll be same lmao
Wait do you really think Dubai is all about skyscrapers and the (American suburbs)?
If you really think that then you’re pretty much mistaken
@@mikustealer5886 what’s else? Just a mall in a desert.
@@ЯрославМосеев-я8е people living there with their own beliefs? Just a question do people get jealous of Dubai’s improvements for the past 50 years?
@@mikustealer5886 I am jealous they can get away with using slave labour
Ah yes attract tourism so there's more investment and don't use that investment money effectively so all you are abe to do is attract more tourists
Actually. If anyone builds a civilization, people would come to check it out. So that was a lame excuse for them to do that.
Research Tartarian empire and learn about true technologic future world , we ar now just degrading into insects
Capitalism gone completely out of control. Basically Corporatism.
or exactly the same capitalism we had in the 1890's before we killed it. Unions, strikes, thousands dead and boomers sold out on every labor gain they ever made and because they get away with it here they can export it the world over.
I only dislike how he says capitalism when it's really corporatism.
Which capitalism inevitably leads to when not checked at every level by other ideologies. Thinking any form of capitalism especially what it intrinsically values is a virtue without its original sins is ignorant and problematic.
Pretty much that capitalism DOES lead to corporatism.
@@alanbareiro6806 Mussolini disagrees
This is 100% capitalism
@@boof-7599 It's a kind of capitalism.
Capitalism baby
Yes that much our city is a joke that all the world they dream to visit us even for one day 😂
They say democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried.
