    For those rich fucks, being rich is success. They dgaf about the people.

    A quote commonly attributed to Sheikh Rashid reflected his concern that Dubai’s oil, which was discovered in 1966 and which began production in 1969, would run out within a few generations.

    “My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel”,[5][6][note 1]

    He therefore worked to develop the economy of Dubai so that it could survive after the end of oil production, and was a driving force behind a number of major infrastructure projects to promote Dubai as a regional hub for trade
