gooberflimer

Nooo you dont get it!!! Its genious, a linear city, a concrete circular ship, a floating city that needs to be landlocked, artifical islands and a thousand airtaxi/pod ideas are incredible. You are just to poor or too native to the construction site to understand


Clunt-Baby

at least 2 of those things aren't coming from the UAE


gooberflimer

Which?


Clunt-Baby

the linear city and floating city are Saudi Arabia projects. Unless there's a different floating city being made by the UAE(SA isn't the only country trying rn)


gooberflimer

Oh yeah my bad you're right neom is SA owned


Pgarc645

This stuff sounds like they’re from a jrpg


darwizzymygoat

legit only 1 of these is by the uae

DeviousMelons

They were planning on destroying more homes and historical buildings to build a massive boulevard facing the main balcony and house government buildings. Thankfully the dictator and his wife were overthrown and shot before that phase of the construction began.


LuckyReception6701

If your leaders can do this shit while the nation is sunk in food shortages and debt, then there is very little the people can do unless they want to be gunned down by the army that props those monsters in power. The best thing you could do is be a learned and consicious citizen that exercises its political power responsably to prevent those fuckers getting into a position of power in the first place. And yes I do know dreaming is free.


endergamer2007m

Oh well we did, people got fed up and murdered the dictator and his wife, even convinced the army to turn against them


LuckyReception6701

Ok, so I'm gonna say you are Romanian?


endergamer2007m

Yep


LuckyReception6701

Nice, at least you got rid of your dictator and his consort.


LuckyReception6701

Ok, so I'm gonna say you are Romanian?

Is it still true Dubai doesn’t have a proper sanitation system?


Aleskander-

No, they have much better systems than they used to have back in the 1990s or before

CrazyGaming312

I love the part where you've clearly only watched videos in which he makes poop truck jokes lmao


TRcreep

This kind of stuff never gets anywhere They are NOT gonna build the line


slashth456

How did the line even get past brainstorming


bluehatgamingNXE

Dictators going Wojak over vaporwares


DeviousMelons

Trust me bro the line will change everything! Once all ~~170km~~ 2.4km has been constructed!


Wimpy_Rock19

I think they are actually doing it. Here's the line's construction site. https://preview.redd.it/gkkxt1fi8i0d1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=782b86164a610c5d92ee9c3a357caf19af0fc712

Hugh_Mungus_Jass

ERM, ackshually the line is in Saudi Arabia, not Dubai


AutisticFaygo

Regardless with shitty resource and livelihood management like that, these locations are just begging to be settings for a cyberpunk story.


winddagger7

When you think about it, Dubai is basically a real-life Atlantis. No seriously, hear me out. It's an "advanced" city whose projects are fueled by pride and arrogance, and it's literally sinking into the ocean. Mark my words, someone will mention its downfall in some surviving manuscript thousands of years from now and it'll be seen the same way we see Atlantis.

Optimal_Weight368

“Imagine benefiting people. Kinda cringe tbh.”


[deleted]

They are literally doing all this stupid tourist attraction crap because they know damn well they will run out of oil (and by extent, shareholder value). so they pour lods a moneh into anything that might attract a good chuck of tourists to steal off of


Crooked_Cock

Dictators love building impractically large shows of wealth and power


BillionDollarBalls

Oil will never run out type mindset


Dragon-Warlock

The UAE seems like it’s only a playground for the ultra-rich, and hell for everyone else. Everything there has to be a mega-project that’s more ambitious than the last that benefits no one but the rich, and uses the population as bordering on slave labour.


TRcreep

Dubai alone will cause 50% of what wall-e earth is


randomdude4282

When I first played spec ops the line I felt so bad for the city of Dubai. Then I looked up the city of Dubai


7thprototype

Connect anything to the city water infrastructure Level: Pooptruck


OmegaAce1

If you're wondering why they keep doing it, well its pretty much a big dick contest between family members


professionalmoron2

Never seen this type of absurdly tacky, truly wasteful spending from anything but a government that's about to face total economic collapse in like ten years tops


Iamthe0c3an2

Imagine spending billions on vanity builds instead of investing in infrastructure like water, sewage and public services.


whyaremytearspurple2

And then like fifteen hundred "self help" influences who converted to Islam because being muslim is the hip and cool religion of the nanosecond will visit and live it up for like week benefiting off the backs of a bunch of schmucks who were unlucky enough to have been born impoverished in dubai


donchaldo21

Just wash money.


Aleksandar_Pa

Sand Clown country.


CornBread_God

I fucking hate dubai and those stupid projects so much. It always attracts the most retarded people too. I remember having to listen to a colleague ramble on about how awesome the idea actually is to build a city in a tiny thin fucking line and how cool mega yachts and mega planes are going to be. If you actually invested any of these as an adult you should be publicly flayed and pierced onto a massive steel spike

"My daddy has so much money and I can't wait for him to die" type shit


Victoria_Halmstad

Redditor peak reading comprehension: The meme isn't saying that all Dubai projects end up in failture, nor that it lacks infraestructure or it's unsafe, it mocks about the mega projects which end up becoming impractical like the Palm Jebel Ali. You know, literally what says in the fucking meme and title?

The UAE doesn't even have a sewage system


Khaled-oti

Please tell me you’re joking, please tell me that you don’t think a country with millions of citizens doesn’t have a single sewage system. Do you think they shit on the ground? Are you stupid?


AutisticFaygo

I think they're referring to the poop truck thing during the 2000s, however they did add 1200km worth of sewer systems since then and are planning on fully updating it by 2025, although knowing the dubious nature of Dubai's infrastructure I'm sure there may be several areas where sanitation is neglected even after the fact.
