My comments : The end is nigh.
The Saudis do not work hard. They are a lazy people.
For decades they have been burning oil money extravagantly.
They import cheap slave labour from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh
They treat their foreign workers like dirt.

They have been using oil money to wallpaper over everything.
Now with the oil prices crashing and that silly war in Yemen, they have no money.
