Is this a real problem or a fake problem? Every airport is struggling for the most part because they lost all staff over the past few years and have to hire them all back at once. Besides I was at Schiphol recently and it was fantastic -- no queues. I didn't notice any issue with restaurants in Amsterdam. Housing costs in AMS are also relatively acceptable in my opinion. Have a few statistics and a lot of anecdata been stretched to their breaking point in this article? Is there even a problem?

  Dubai isn't a good place to be championing; they rely on slave labor [0] to keep their economy moving, and that has effects all the way up the chain. [0] https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1302&context=jss https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...

    If we are going to talk about slaves, Then that also includes America which has slave labor from prisons, where people work an entire month for less than a dollar. And of course that's without talking about countries America destroyed and stole their Natural resources like Iraq.

      I don't typically engage with people who don't address the argument at hand and instead engage in diversionary tactics. What I addressed was your holding up a slave/petro/religious state as an example of anything good (I can't think of any major lessons they can give to anyone on anything to do with civil rights or labor practices). In this case, I abhor the US stance on prison labor enough that I feel compelled to agree with you. It does not excuse any of the slavery in the Middle East, but the US does have its own issues. As a clarification, the lowest wage I could find was $0.13/hr, so not a month for a dollar, but not functionally different ($1/day or so). As for the Middle East wars... yeah. Not a fan of those.

  Ah yes, airports which operate on the backs of modern day slave labour, I can guess why they don't have a problem.

    So, airports are staffed by slaves?
