1 Dubai is a non union state that enslaves foreign labour

2 More exploited labor died building that tower than will suffer because of the fire

3 the fire is world news not the explotation that built it


4 go figure

Hope people got out in time. Anyone notice the ironic name (The Torch) of the tower yet?

Dubai authorities are claiming no fatalities. But given the size of the building, I'm sure that's wrong. There must have been at least some drunk dudes or deaf old ladies that got left inside.

Sad possibility is that a lot of migrant workers, domestics and the like, perished and authorities will be able to sweep it under the rug pretending there were no fatalities. Fuck Dubai.

For nightmarish legal reasons never name your your boat Capsize, your car Roll Over, or your building Torch

A co -worker of mine lived and worked there for 10 years.He was a engineer and Canadian so he got respect.I could listen to his stories for days.Foreign far east labour(India, Sir Lanka, Bangladesh, etc.) are treated with less worth then animals and respected even less.

Same with Saudi Arabia. A couple of my Muslim Pakistani co-workers originally went to work in Saudi Arabia thinking that fellow Saudi Muslims would treat Pakistani fellow Muslims nicely, instead they were treated like shit. Hence, they came to Canada and discovered they are much better treated by "infidels" than by fellow Muslims in Saudi Arabia. No, I don't know if their wives cover their faces in citizenship ceremonies.
