You’ve got to be kidding! Dubai hotel considers air-conditioning the sand on the beach!
Just when I think stupidity and waste can’t get any worse, and people can’t stoop any lower, I stumble across another “say what” story. According to a news story on Yahoo News, a new hotel being built in Dubai is thinking about air-conditioning the sand on the beach around the hotel!! What are they thinking? If their “richey-rich” clients don’t want to be hot on the beach then let them stay indoors!
Seriously, this is the height of waste and inconsiderate behavior. Even if we put aside the fact that piping AC outdoors for the sake of mere vanity is a wasteful assault to the environmental eco-system, piping air conditioning outdoors is still wrong on so many other levels! People all over the world are starving, struggling to makes ends meet, put food on the table, clothe their kids, and keep from going bankrupt. These goofballs want to throw money away by air conditioning SAND - outdoors - on a beach!
The investors and executives making these decisions need to be stripped of all their possessions and made to walk in the shoes of an average citizen. That money they are wasting on extravagant unnecessary “luxury” could help so many people around the world. ARGH!!!! What do you think about this?
