> And is US and Dubai really comparable? Why do people go so far, to work there? Don't they tell their relatives at home, how shitty it is? Why are they going? Why do they risk it? And who am i to judge their decision making?

Because people taking this up live in even worse conditions in some of the most abject poverty there is and they have no way to climb up the social ladder that doesn't involve saving some money with this kind of work even at the expense of their physical safety.

And here i am confused. So from their perspective, they can achieve something better for themselves, with that risk. And from my perspective, i see it as abuse of their situation, because iam on a different cushion level, where i dont have to risk my life for my job.

Good luck to them!

Something can be both opportunity and abuse. The whole point of health and safety legislation is to remove the "abuse" part.

The abuse component is completely unnecessary.

It's not about the type of labor or physical effort but the completely inhuman conditions. How the heck is that a contradiction?
