I got a job in a call center where I have to try to sell stuff to rich people who think they have the right to scream and treat their fellow mankind like slaves to abuse.

I'm soooo happy about this story that I feel like screaming from the rooftops YAY!

I can't WAIT till tommorrow when I'm off to watch the market roll Dubia into a burning piece of Hell.

The only thing better than watching the "Disneyland of the rich" burn would be if the rich were in the buildings at the time!

YAY!

1. Awesome, I'd forgotten how beautiful that song is
and never used more appropriately. Thanks Joanne98!

2. Just brought this to mind.
Halliburton-the company that Vice President Dick Cheney used to be Chief Executive Officer of-announces they are moving not only out of the country, and not only to the Middle East, but to the very same country that Pres. Bush once upon a time tapped to head up port security for the United States of America. Dubai.

3. Most of the people there
are expat workers, trying to make a better life for themselves.

5. Far too many of whom
are shamelessly exploited and abused.

4. Dubai
How appropriate that the background music is British. The Brits have BILLIONS of pounds invested in Dubai; the pound is expected to fall against the dollar. Can´t wait to see how the Brits blame this one on us. They always do.

8. Well they did it on the advice of American Anarcho-Randians, so I guess it can be our fault

7. Dubai: A collection of monuments showcasing the ignorance of unbridled capitalism.
Didn't the U.S. MSM gerbils rave about Dubai as some sort of capitalistic haven about a year ago? Another example of their depth in reporting.

11. One of the main reason's I wasn't rooting for Hillary last year
Clinton's have way to close for comfort connections to the UAE. And it's a good thing they didn't get our ports either. We'd even be more in a world of hurt
