DUBAI ECONOMICS: You have two cows. You create a website for them and advertise them in all magazines. You create a Cow City or Milk Town for them. You sell off their milk before the cows have even been milked to both legitimate and shady investors who hope to resell the nonexistent milk for a 100% profit in two years' time. You bring Tiger Woods to milk the cows first to attract attention.

SAUDI ECONOMICS: You have two cows. Since milking the cow involves nipples, the government decides to ban all cows in public. The only method to milk a cow is to have a cow on one side of a curtain and a guy milking the cow on the other side, or to hire females and train them to milk the cows... the debate is still on going.....

QATARI ECONOMICS: You have two cows. They've been sitting there for decades and no one realizes that cows can produce milk. You see what Dubai is doing, you go crazy and start milking the heck out of the cows in the shortest time possible. Then you realize no one wanted the milk in the first place.
