Yep. It's the same reason those tiny oil countries in the Arab Gulf are popular. You can work a few years to save big and go home. There's a underclass of slaves below you that keep the country running, but if you're not a slave yourself, it's easy to ignore that.
America is similar. Ignore the homeless, the people who can't afford basic trips to the doctor, the illegal immigrant underclass, hope the crime problem never affects you, and focus on your own money, and it's fine.
- mlrtime 1y agoThat is hardly the same, the people come to America to stay because it is a nice place to raise a family. UAE ... not so much.
- tekne 1y agoI mean, I spent 7 years of my childhood in Dubai, and it was overall decent. Anecdata, et al.
- mlrtime 1y agolate reply... I'm guessing you are not (and will never become) a citizen to your birth country. And your parents left because it was not a great place to raise you, you are probably in a better country now.
- lesostep 1y ago>> a nice place to raise a family is it? No free childcare, no free medicine, no free urgent care and almost no third places for children. Add to that almost no food regulation. And, for immigrants, no support from their parents What's nice about that, getting into debt as soon as one of us gets medical emergency? Or staying in a suburban home 24/7 with a child until they can go to school?
- mlrtime 1y agoYour first question is loaded and leading and not reflective of everyone. The second sounds great and is (IMO) the proper way to raise a family.
