Is it better to have a democracy where they take more than 50% of what you earn, like Germany, or is it better to have a dictatorship like Abu Dhabi where they take 10%?

Having seen the answers to this note I see that you have not visited the UAE where the majority of the population is foreign, more than 80%, where you are not forced to follow any religion, where there is security in the streets, where there is economic freedom and above all progress and where you are not treated like a criminal for using bitcoin.

Arab Emirates (especially dubai and abu dabhi) is a stone's throw from Europe, the only precaution is not to mess with the monarchy.

Ask yourselves why it is becoming one of the financial centers of the world.

If you think that because European regimes put democracy on a piece of paper it is democracy?

Democracy has only existed in ancient Greece.

Travel more.

I have mixed feelings about the place after living there for a few years working in construction. I respect and understand what you’re saying but it comes with its own set of pros and cons that can also change at the blink of an eye…it’s a matter of choosing your hard isn’t it

I only put it as a counterexample to western democracies where you pay many taxes and few services, taking into account that both in Dubai and Abi Dhabi the natives receive subsidies from oil dividends, something unthinkable in a western democracy.

With respect to me it is a climate that I do not tolerate, it is the worst thing I see that limits you in many aspects of life.

Oh for sure…you are spot on with your example. We are in Australia, one of the largest natural gas providers and our economy is completely ruined…we should be thriving. It makes us so angry that we talk about moving back to the UAE…I can’t do that climate with my kids

Pres. Bukele seems to believe that representative government is failing. I think he wants to be a king or some such. And I think he would be a good one. The representative government in US is a mess, but we have no worthy king candidates, fools only.
