If US attacks Iran, what will be the impact on Dubai? (Ideally it will be a TACO so I’m not that worried that this will happen but just thinking of tail cases)

Not sure I support an attack but could have incredibly positive results if the regime is overthrown

It would be the most expensive TACO of all times

Doubt it would impact, other than air space closures so flights potentially impacted

The power vacuum will be discovered then tentatively filled by various factions following regime collapse, and they will end up fighting over it. And that’s when spillovers happen. When some *cough*UAE*cough* will attempt to arm and finance certain factions in their own backyard, houthi style attacks will become more rampant in the region as a reaction of the opposing factions. I would consider it the worst case, which would be manageable, IF somehow the US fully dominates hormuz to avoid oil traffic disruptions. This is your worst case scenario. And while TACO, Lindsey graham on the other side doesn’t… and he’s been pretty adamant about it. So I hope it doesnt indeed go any further

It is fairly clear that Israel wants hegemony in the region and does want the attack. But agree US is still the linchpin of peace in the region so pretty sure it will be fine for most of the region (excpt Iran). The key is to align with the empire - else you are inviting the pain sooner or later.

Hi 
Can anyone refer me for a data science analyst role in Amex

Thanks .

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
