Food would and probably should cost more . Citizens won't do the jobs they do. Yet complaints are constant. Someone once asked me why I taught their children with no resentment. I said that I was honored to teach their children because they were feeding mine. " Western" lifestyle is built on exploitation as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8541237918716814863.post-16588141626623436542014-10-12T12:50:54.325+03:002014-10-12T12:50:54.325+03:00Hi William - There have been a lot of opinion piec...Hi William - There have been a lot of opinion pieces written lately about the expat workers here in Saudi Arabia, many of them negative. The truth is that these workers provide services that most Saudis would consider to be beneath them, yet many Saudis are very vocal about complaining about problems they see because of the expat presence in their country. The people in this country would not be able to sustain their quality of life without these poor expat workers, yet many foreign workers are treated dismally by the Saudis.
