General MacArthur is rarely wrong.
The main difference between Yemen and California is that when President Xi visits, Yemen does not clean the homeless people off the streets.
Yemeni apartments and beachfront property are also 31% cheaper than California.
If you park your car at a beach in Yemen, they don't have roaming gangs smashing the windows of your car to steal your bags.
But if you take you yacht or fishing cruiser out for a sail, they do have roaming gangs who smash your windows and steal your bags.
A Toyota Corolla in Yemen is USD$100,000 and gas is US$10 per gallon.
Yemen really need to do something to improve their seaborne shipping costs.
I wonder who in Yemen at this point has "Monthly membership at local gym" or "Regular dress from H&M or similar store".
