Looks horrifying.
Crazy to see how much this city has grown over the years ✨

lol well, in some ways it is.
I guess it depends on the mood you are in 🤷♀️ Dubai is quite high time preference and it’s like a better version on Vegas.
But on the other hand building this has done a lot to change the way many (mostly Americans) see the Middle East, it has generated a lot of money for the locals, if you allow yourself to enjoy the lights at night - it can be quite magical, it has become a safe haven for many, there is always something to do here, and it’s VERY Bitcoin friendly.
To be completely honest it’s to me a huge symbol of something build by slaves filled with rich people showing off.
I could be wrong though.
You are not fully wrong. 😑
Many that built this worked very hard for what most people would say is not enough money, but I suppose for those people working it was enough compared to where they came from. But I don’t know enough about this topic to fully speak on it, that’s just based on something’s I’ve read.
I couldn't agree with this more.
