Id eat that 🤤 if it's anything like those lindor pistachio chocolates. Dubai is decadent as fuck. Boy are they going to have a rough and tumble crash when America collapses and stops buying all their oil and suddenly doesn't know what to do when they don't have all that money to pay for White labor to maintain their hyper technocratic "civilization" and no more Lamborghinis are being manufactured because the jews brought down the entire West because it was written in their racist inbred schizophrenic pedophile book

@lain @RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @Frondeur What? The Oil and gas itself is around 30% of their gpd, with logistics and financial services for oil and gas making up another 25% ... everything else is real-estate and tourism, that only exists because of oil money,..

@lain @RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @Frondeur Dubai specifically.. dunno if UAE has something else going on or not.. and obviously, I'm not an on the ground economist, the AI that has replaced most real info could be hallucinating.

@HonkHonkBoom @RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @Frondeur wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Dubai) says:

"Oil production, which once accounted for 50% of Dubai's gross domestic product, contributes less than 1% today.[4] In 2018, wholesale and retail trade represented 26% of the total GDP; transport and logistics, 12%; banking, insurance activities and capital markets, 10%; manufacturing, 9%; real estate, 7%; construction, 6%; tourism, 5%.[5][6]"

@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @lain it's a particularly barren desert...not even really an oasis...pure will...the city is like 3 million people a third of which are pajeets...ironically cleanest and best smelling place you'll ever go...it's something of a libertarian's paradise...for foreigners...i would say if you search around right some of the best food ever as well...

@genmaicha @lain very similar...i prefer it to stroopwafel...but only slightly...it's been blowing up all over french social media so my girl in paris said we had to get a bunch for her family and friends while in dubai...i flew back through amsterdam and had some stroopwafel at the airport...
