Men In White Plan Mall of the World

[don]

This image provided by Dubai Holding on Saturday July 5, 2014, shows an artist rendition of their planned Mall of the World project that will include an 8 million square foot (743,224 square meter) mall, a climate-controlled street network, a theme park covered during the scorching summer months and 100 hotels and serviced apartments. Dubai Holding, a conglomerate controlled by the emirate's ruler, is developing the complex. It gave no details on the cost or the completion date.

Dubai exists solely to make the Chinese construction bubble look "normal"...

is that somehow equivalent to the saying that economic forecasters exist to make astrologers look respectable?

I wouldn't make too much fun of astrology (in the right hands).

On a personal note, I've shown up to a random city in India last year, had my palm read for about 30 minutes, and the guy predicted many aspects of my character, my challenges in life, and my supposed future. All I gave him was my full name and birthdate, and one of my palms for observation. The accuracy was of things until now, pretty close to 95%.
Apparently I will retire in just a few short years from now... (bitcoin anyone?)... this, if I survive a major accident (doh!)

So, apparently, economic forecasters stand alone as least respected.

In that case, I'm a man on a mission:
