“You know how Ford said you can have any car you like as long as it’s black? In the UAE they can make whatever you want, as long as it’s a building. They can’t make free speech or human rights” — Vice.com author Molly Crabapple
A heartbreaking and personal story of construction labor conditions in the UAE, illustrated with hand drawings showing how literally trapped the workers are. It's ironic and sad that this news item will share the same space with a contemporary article about building a cage-less zoo in Denmark.

Not that I think Denmark should *not* build a cage-less zoo. If a zoo is necessary, and I believe there are very good arguments for why they are, then a cageless one is better than the norm. I just find it frustrating that while we constantly have to prioritize and carefully budget our empathy we have an endless well of inhumane treatment.
