Well done it was the best I could do for a Monday  It was a word of the day from some obscure dictionary site I must be registered with.

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.
