No social investments, no technology, just plain luxury and housing. Have you seen that artificial palm drawn on the sea? For me, that symbolizes how artificial things were in Dubai, and good old karma gave them what they deserved.

I, at least, feel vindicated that good old common sense appears to have trumped wild disconnection from reality caused by wealth. More proof that no country can survive without producing any of tangible value.
