Middle-income Americans - their innumeracy, their illiteracy, their armchair-quarterbacking, their habit of seeing the Other one-dimensionally, their racism, their dollars - have always been a greater threat to Saudi Arabia and other people of the world than the price of fucking oil.
- mrkstu 6y agoSo, middle-income Americans are just like the average human being, just luckier in having a few more bucks in their paycheck?
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoUm, suppose you would want take a stab at that, why would specifically comment on middle-income ones? Are they even the ones in charge of the country?
- lostlogin 6y ago> have always been a greater threat to Saudi Arabia It all seems to have gone pretty well for Saudi to date.
- rossdavidh 6y agoMy apologies if I seemed to be wishing ill tidings for Saudi Arabia. I have no wish for Saudi Arabia to see bad times ahead. However, I think every oil-dependent country is in for a rocky ride in the next decade, as renewables become the dominant energy source, and since Saudi Arabia is the world's leading oil producer, they came first to mind. Not something I want to happen at all, just something I think will happen, which we should prepare to mitigate. My apologies if it sounded otherwise.
