The plan has sickened me from the start. Good riddance.
What a monumental waste of money and manpower. Just imagine how much good that money and manpower could have done. Then again, it is unlikely that Saudi Arabia would use its wealth to do good…
See, I thought it was fucking hilarious. The Saudis spending their oil money on a giant linear city out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. I just wish they had spent more.
Killing thousands of workers and wasting $50 billion to build a trench in the desert is less bad then the data center hosting this website? Are you out of your mind?
He IS out of his mind. Most people don’t actually do any thinking; they just repeat sentences they’ve heard other members of their tribe speak or write. What most people call “thinking” is basically doing what parrots do, except that parrots don’t flatter themselves while they’re making word sounds.
The way this idea was implemented always made zero sense to me. Wouldn't it have made more sense to build shorter line, like half a kilometer long, and then keep adding segments to it if it was a success? Why try to build the whole thing at once?
The Middle East has a problem. Its populations are low iq cousin fuckers that can’t build anything. They have a temporary resource gold mine they can use to pay other people to build things for them, and they are desperately trying to figure out how turn that into permanent storable wealth via becoming a modern economy.
But they probably can’t. I can see smaller ME countries becoming your typical tax haven city state, but that doesn’t scale to the entire Muslim world.
Probably the best bet is to just buy a diversified portfolio of foreign assets and pay out dividends over time, but that’s kind of lame and boring and you’ll always be at the mercy of the people whose assets you own (who could confiscate them the moment you come into conflict).

"The Line was the zenith of our age of insanity"
I disagree, AI data centre boom is far more insane
