I think the headline is designed to be misleading - the dramatic tone implies a worse situation than the actual words describe.
It's not how headlines are written now, but it would be more honest to say: Dubai to rely less on fresh food Perishable food in limited supply Fresh fruit and vegetables affected by war in iran
Well intentioned, often other "neurodivergent" people look at your life, your autism, and say: "you should mask harder."
Yeah pretty much, right? But is any other advice possible?
"Here's how to appear less autistic" is really the only usable piece of info when the problem is "I'm autistic and that's never going to change but it sometimes causes problems".
"Learn how to politely say Fuck you deal with it it's definitely going to happen again" is the only other realistic option but that strategy is only effective in limited contexts.
The UAE is not about to starve. It maintains strategic grain reserves and holds significant stocks of frozen and packaged foods, meaning the country is not facing a broader food shortage.

This is a bad take on a bad day to be making such a bad take and the phrase 'just asking a question' is like the textbook red flag for a bad faith troll.
That doesn't sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.
If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can't tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.
The boss picture is missing a whip - all heirarchy is coercive.
The leader picture should be identical to the boss one except the leader should be saying "We're all pulling together!" while whiping.

The rich benefit in some way from almost everything that happens, that's how being an elite works.
But that doesn't mean that the regime intented to massively spike oil prices. They'll have so much more voter suppression to do now.
