Expert: "For every country they come to a point where they hit the pinnacle of their achievements and then they realise that it's a point of saturation and you need to find something new to innovate further. To find either a new target or landmark or project to achieve." Me: "They're running out of oil"

[@NadidLinchestein]

They're not, they've enough reserves of Natural Resources please educate yourself. It's time for then to innovate further and expand into leading industries

[@Hasanaljadid]

They have for atleast 100 years and UAE economy is quite diversified

[@nata6025]

Nah, they're running out of (future) customers to sell oil to. Now they're scrambling to pivot. If they were smart, they would do as Norway did and invest their wealth for this day, and continue to innovate their economy. Sadly, they rested on their laurels

[@caedriel5555]

what this fails to mention is that it is a visa and not a form of permanent residency which is what the people want.

[@NadidLinchestein]

@@hasnat9545 They hating, we rolling. There's 0% personal taxes just like Day One and corporate tax is 9% compared to other countries over 30%. All costs of the flood will be given by the Government as already announced as it's not corrupt like yours. So cope hard and cry with the door locked, Middle class keyboard warrior.

[@Altioale]

@@hasnat9545 they have to because they were being listed as “tax avoiding country” by other countries which would affect their international transactions and international trades overall. It’s only 9% corporate tax no personal income tax, no tax for anyone who makes under $102k and theirs small business relief if you make under $800k annually which you can apply.

I am here because when I heard about SA as human rights ambassador for the UN I thought that it was a joke, but now I realize that since 2018 there has been a change that I missed in the news. I can see the good work done here in terms of societal progress. Well done SA!

I wonder why there's no Filipino representation here.

[@rohitsawant5805]

I have heard there a millions of Filipinos working in the Middle East along with Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalis, Bangladeshis. Maybe they didn't show us because most of our people work in low end Labour jobs like construction worker, hotel staff, maids, nurse, drivers, cleaners, etc. And this documentary is about the High Tech stuff.

[@Han_Seo101]

Sadly and unfortunately, we all know the answer. While watching it, I felt like something was missing. But again, it is their documentary. There are a lot of amazing things in the world. By the way, I just watched their bangsamoro Docu. 😅😅😅

[@juanmiguel-557]

The UAE and Saudi Arabia have long relied heavily on outside expertise to develop their country. They seem to have no self-confidence to advance their own country. They're willing to pay something at a high price to get it rather than trying to build it themselves. That's the mentality of the Arabs from the past to the present

The nucleus in it is that they`re very lazy. ( The Saudis)
