Why Saudi Arabia Keeps Announcing New 'Gigaprojects'

submitted by BSR

1 year 7 months ago

From Trojena to The Line, Saudi Arabia's megaprojects have moved into a different league.

Sure sounds like they can afford to pay for and provide their own military then, and we can stop supplying them defense.

Wait….the entire country had a surplus of only $27 billion!?! WHAT!?!
Just a few years ago California had a surplus of $100 billion! Last year it was $50 billion. Where are our giga-projects!?!

It makes me wonder, how do they intend to pay for the upkeep on these hyper expensive ostentatious projects when the planet stops being addicted to oil? They have nothing else of value.

Moving this video to BSR's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by eric3579.

Subsidy for the tech sectors. Elon Musk should brand Tesla, SpaceX and his other comanies as a "Government Funded Entities" on Twitter.

The United States has always been a Socialist country supporting the ultra rich.
