If by flexing you mean showing off what happens when a small percentage take all the wealth and everyone else suffers... then hell yeah.. id say they are setting the example.

And they spend billions on gimmicks like this. It's not like this is remotely a working or effective police vehicle. Not to mention the insane property development ideas (so how's 'The World' going?) sponsorships, just to convince shallow idiots that it's a cool place. It's just a dictatorship married to noveau-riche tackiness.

I'm a lot more impressed by a country like Norway that's got culture, history, a humane society where the poorest are treated well, and the wisdom to put their oil money into a wealth fund, than I am by Dubai, that's got nothing of their own and wastes their money on paying Americans and Europeans to come build stuff for bragging-rights while exploiting those from poor countries as virtual slaves.
