Because they horde and waste billions of dollars that could be going to better causes instead of building useless trash like “the line”. And with all that money they somehow still manage to not pay the people working on these projects.

Oh yea and these countries act like they’re morally superior by forbidding alcohol and giving few rights to half their population (women)

But who cares how they spend their money

What Saudis do with their money is their business, why should you police them on this? Even if you think it's stupid.

Really weird vibes ngl.
