Heh,
Someone recently posted about their experience with looking for a job. Also, this evening there was an article that was deleted. Being curious I searched for the subject matter. Discovered an interesting job posting.
You can get a job over in Abu Dhabi[^] for $2.00 per hour. You only need 7 years of experience!
I was wondering if it was legal to pay such a low wage, and apparently there is no minimum wage[^] over there! 
Is it even possible to live in the UAE on $2 per hour?!?

|
|
I wonder what the punishment is for complaining over there? death? hmmmm. ineteresting.

You've been using that sandwich as an avatar for years. Now we know why... you obviously have the munchies.

I'll neither confirm nor deny that conclusion.

At $2.00 per hour they're going to have major problems, especially with a security engineer.

I once read a book, Factfulness, by Hans Rosling, who claimed there are four stages of wealth.
There are the extremely poor people, who earn a dollar or less per day (per day sounds ridiculous, but I'm fairly certain it was per day and not hour).
With only a dollar extra, these people can escape extreme poverty and get basic supplies, like plumbing.
You won't believe how hard it is to go from one to two dollar, it could take generations.
I believe most of the world lives in that second category.
If not, they live in the third category, who make something like six dollar a day.
I can't remember what the fourth category earns, but they're of course us, the richt west: Europe and Northern America.
We are so rich all those beneath us look like they're extremely poor, while it's really three stages of wealth.
I'm not sure if $2 an hour is a fair salary over there, but plenty of people would take it without a second thought.

Gates owns most of the farm land in America.

Yeah,
Bill Gates is a very successful entrepreneur, he is out standing in his field.

Nope. Not even close...
Fact Check-Bill Gates doesnβt own most U.S. farmland; BlackRock doesnβt own most houses | Reuters[^]
Quote: According to a January 2021 article by βThe Land Reportβ, Gates owned 242,000 acres of farmland through two investment management firms - Cottonwood Ag Management and Cascade Investment (here).
The figure is far below the total area of U.S. farmland. A 2021 report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said there were 895,300,000 acres of farmland in the United States. (here). Using those figures, Gates would own about 0.027% of U.S. farmland.

Yes, he does 
I see my memory is a bit off...
It wasn't one and two dollar, but two and eight.
And the third starts at 32.
I was right about it being per day though, and that most people are on level two
It's been about a year since I read it.

Average Salary in Abu Dhabi 2022
Quote: A person working in Abu Dhabi typically earns around 21,000 AED per month. Salaries range from 4,680 AED (lowest average) to 96,400 AED (highest average, actual maximum salary is higher)
The exchange rate is 1 AED == 0.27 USD, so the monthly average salaries range between US$ 1250 to US$ 26,000. The lower salary translates to (assuming a 40-hour week) US$ 7.10 per hour.
Even by Abu Dhabi's standards, US$ 2.00 is slave wages.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I am fairly certain that most can argue that $7.10 per hour is still slave wages.
