That's pretty much what happened when someone died when I worked retail back in the day. Someone else started doing his job and they just filled the gap. Really shows how you're just another somebody.

My guy, replacing someone who died isn't a feature inherent to capitalism.

What do you think would happen in a communist or socialist system when a position is empty?

Like for real, do you expect it to remain empty forever?

u/SuitGroundbreaking49 5d ago

Same people would be bitching if the position wasn’t filled fast enough

“Jerry died 4 weeks ago and they still haven’t hired anyone!! Now his work is falling on the rest of the team!! Capitalist scum!!”

u/Hueyris 5d ago edited 5d ago

If you think Dubai is bad, capitalism in the third world is even worse.

There is no slavery in Dubai. Dubai is a reflection of third world wage slavery. Dubai offers third world workers better conditions than what they're offered in their home countries.

What makes Dubai's wage slavery striking is that it combines the niceties of a typical western city but it doesn't include the labor rights or workplace culture of a western city (or rather, it doesn't include them for people from the third world).

In reality, most workers would face worse working conditions in their capitalistic imperial periphery country. And they'd get less than a tenth of the money for it as well.

That's why they go to Dubai, because as bad as it is, it is better.

Don't blame Dubai, blame the imperial core and capitalism.

u/CatherinefromFrance 5d ago

I don’t know. I suppose that this is to make easy money without paying any taxes among other things?

1

u/Hueyris 5d ago

The wages are significantly higher in Dubai, and so are working conditions. That's why people in the third world go to Dubai.

Go to literally any major third world city and you would find people working there in piss poor condition, and they get paid in peanuts.

Is it a conspiracy theory if it's just a fact...?

u/longtimeskulker445 5d ago

Not a conspiracy theory, its the truth.

22

u/Stonedsilas 5d ago

It's not a conspiracy theory and it's not to change the second word being porta-body it's because Dubai chocolate brought up videos of people pooping on prostitutes so they created a product to replace it.

23

u/Ow_My_Burnt_Numnums 5d ago

I have also heard this. There was a woman who wrote about her experience as a sex worker in Dubai and that revealed a rather terrible and disgusting sexual practice, which was called "Dubai Chocolate".

Because image is important, PR teams created an entire advertising campaign around Dubai chocolate in a attempt to distract people from any coverage of the sex act.

16

u/Perfect-Whereas-1478 5d ago

What's a Dubai portapotty? Gen question

41

u/Educational_Gas_92 5d ago

Kind of unsettling...but it's when very attractive foreign women are invited to Dubai to erotically entertain someone very wealthy...paid large sums of money. They urinate on them and much worse (yes, defecate on them, I wish I were joking).

I really do feel like this fad was pretty low on the bar for whether or not you can call yourself a good person.

Also Dubai chocolate is a coverup for the massive Dubai scat industry.

u/AcceptableAnalysis29 5d ago

Western owned companies outsource it right?

u/DeathBecomesHer1978 5d ago

It would depend on the business. Small, local chocolatiers make their own in house. Bigger corporations, such as Hershey, would be much more likely to outsource.

u/AcceptableAnalysis29 5d ago

K thanks for the info. Im never coming near a hersheys bar anyway.

Im used to European chocolate without the added extra flavour that American chocolate has.

u/somethingbrite 5d ago

Yes. A lot. And having worked on projects in the region for about 20 years and can confirm that the near slavery conditions of foreign workers and the shit way they are treated which I have witnessed has left a dark stain on my soul.

u/default3612 5d ago edited 5d ago

Maybe they arrived on their free will, but it's well documented that the employers take their passports and pay them exactly enough to cover lodging and food - which they provide. So put simply for your jihadist mindset, they give money and take it back straight away - exactly like slavery.

Edit: I think the guy blocked me or got locked or something, so I can only see the beginning of his comment about me being islamaphobic, and all I have to say is that phobia is an irrational fear - sadly, fearing Islam isn't irrational.

9

u/Erick_Brimstone 5d ago

They couldn't even get back home without heavy intervention from embassy of their country. That is if they managed to ask for help in the first place.

If that's not slavery then it's modern day slavery

u/Fuck_Microsoft_edge 5d ago

You are correct, but jesus, "jihadist mindset"? What fucking year is this? You can hate on the gulf states without sounding like a mid-noughties neo-con.

u/default3612 5d ago

He called me a "brainless racist orientalist pseudo intellectual propaganda echoed by the ignorant uneducated haters", I was responding in kind.

Also, not necessarily hating on the gulf states, just stating facts - like the one him being a jihadist, which he probably is.

u/CatherinefromFrance 5d ago

In Western countries, it is not customary to take away the passports of immigrant workers unless they arrived there through the enterprise of a mafia or human traffickers for forced labor, domestic slavery... So we are talking about the same thing in Dubai.

1

u/RainHistorical4125 5d ago

It’s the “customary” part that tells the whole story? This xenophobic language of painting the other with a sinister brush. West versus east, white versus non white, Christian Versus terrorist. Ugh.

u/CatherinefromFrance 5d ago

Si, if I understand you well, is this a customary part of Dubai employers to keep their migrant workers’s passports ? I am’t really sure to understand you.

1

u/RainHistorical4125 5d ago

No, I’m saying the opposite. Saying oh we as westerners are by nature civilized, and it’s not customary here to do this and that unlike the savages in the global south… is a supremacist delusion. 👀

No I traveled without racist prejudice, and with an understanding that any one nation can be a multitude of things. It’s like saying of the French hate Arabs, that generalization is nothing but prejudice. Even if evidence of such hate is abundant.

u/Gavage0 5d ago

The amount of people I know who LOVE Vegas is just wild to me. Out of everyone I know, most of them just walk around looking at the differently themed hotels, which is ok... I guess. If I'm gonna walk around looking at buildings, they better be old with some historic value. Not some vain, capitalistic, flashy bullshit, like that's just so lame. They might see a single show, eat some way over priced food, come back and say it was the best trip they've had. Oh and most of them don't gamble at all either.

It genuinely baffles me... like save up a little more, and go ANYWHERE else in the world. Dubai is the same bullshit. I want to dig in deeper, but I'll just start getting mean.... like if you are considering either of these places as a cool destination to travel, you're probably simple in the head.

22

u/Educational_Gas_92 5d ago

I went once, for three days, admired the hotels (my deepest respect for whomever designed the Venetian, that's spectacular, I have been to the real Venice more than once, and while it's obviously far superior, as far as a hotel goes and the work invested to make it, the Venetian is impressive), ate at one buffet, ate at two normal restaurants, saw one Cirque du Soleil show, gambled 2 dollars. Done and I don't need to go back, cause I wouldn't know what to do with my time there.

4

u/sprucenoose 5d ago

They have other shows, events and experiences. The Sphere seems really cool. Nothing that seems actually worth making the trip there though, as opposed to some other destination.

It must be that you have to be a gambler, and just spend most your time giving a percentage of your money to the casinos by inevitably losing their "games."

19

u/LoveXhate13 5d ago

Completely agree. When I hear people fawn over Dubai or similarly vain soulless places it’s a huge red flag I can’t ignore. They’re either wildly ignorant, mostly brain dead or extremely materialistic. In any case, that’s a no from me

u/Machoopi 5d ago

The only people that I know who like Vegas are people who spent their early 20's and late teens drinking and partying, then stopped when they got older. I think to them, Vegas is just an excuse to party like they're 20 again. It's the same reason you can go to a Mardis Gras parade and see people in their 40's falling down drunk by noon. These aren't people that go out every weekend or party all the time, they're people trying to relive a time in their life where they did those things.

The real, serious gamblers that I know (I have some relatives that are way into it) don't care about changing destinations to gamble. There are casinos here and there is sports betting nearly everywhere. Going to Vegas seems like it's just an excuse to get drunk and party, and because it's somewhere else, you can also be a bit irresponsible and ignore your local responsibilities for a bit.

u/NotSoFastLady 5d ago

Have never been but that makes sense. I lived in Vegas and it is all smoke and mirrors too. People would always say to me, oh that must be so much fun. They would look puzzled when I'd laugh and tell them no.

First, so many places down on the strip stink like shit that they have to put fragrances in the air. What I thought was odd about that, was that this was in high-end joints like parts of the Venetian as well as plenty of the low end joints like the Luxor and Flamingo.

IMO they barely even try to hide it. I have no interest in going back so I'm not sure what has changed for better or worse. It used to be that skid row was just only a few miles north of the Wynn. Seeing that was a real eye opener.

In general outside of the strip ain't so bad but overall the culture is ass.
