I often think this was a psyop by the west into self sabotaging the Saudi economy. People forget tech flourishes in more free societies. The Saudis aren’t free. This idea that free thinking people are going to live under a kingdom is wild. I rather live in a rat infested NYC then stop foot in this place. Green energy, AI all the buzz of the west they were trying to invent an economy along the oil they control and it’s going to blow up with massive mal-investment
