“Iranian attacks on Dubai and the closure of its airport have triggered a scramble among the wealthy to leave the emirates via alternative routes on private jets.

“The normally glitzy city – a playground for billionaires, influencers and millions of international visitors – has been on edge since drones and missiles fired in response to US and Israel strikes on Iran damaged the airport and struck several high-profile hotels and landmarks.”

I appreciate the article’s punny title, but they could have taken it further. “Bad Buy Dubai: Private Jet Prices Soar as Wealthy Take Flight from Dubai”

Wonder why the wealthy aren’t interested in private submarines. Seems safer from an escapism and survival perspective and probably cost just as much as a flimsy easy-target Gulfstream.

“We commit to protect our citizens around the world with all the resources we have available. Unfortunately, due to a bench of a*-holes having evaded taxes by moving to Dubai, these resources are currently depleted, please stand by while we figure a budget including saving you. This may take some time but we’re doing everything we can to deliver you the assistance you deserve.

I’m sure you understand!

Good luck!!”

Seriously, if Dubai gets razed to the ground, nothing not value would be lost. Dubia is a collection of luxury cars, private jets, billionaire babies and luxury items, and basically nothing more

So where is your airplane now, Dubai? Oh yeah, that’s right, you gave it to the Cheeto to bribe him and he said fuck you, smiled, and kicked you square in the balls.

Why do people still try to apease this psychopath
