I really don't understand why foreigners tend to interfere in our matters. 99% of Saudi citizens don't really care what's happening around the world nor do they interfere in their matters. Saudi Arabia doesn't give Saudi citizenships or permanent residencies to foreigners. All expat workers here are on temporary yearly work visas who come and go Regarding the crown price, he's the best leader suited for this generation of Saudi citizens who are on average in the age group of 25 to 35 years old. The crown prince has done tons of great things for the country in the past 5 years of so. Increased all women's rights, increased women's employment, given them driving licenses, autonomy on movements. Furthermore, the best thing the government has done during the Covid pandemic was fire all unnecessary foreigners and increase Saudi employment by many folds. All companies and sectors are forced to increase employment and training of Saudi citizens. Many sectors require the firing and removal of foreigners. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is earning billions each day from oil and gas. All of this money is being used for the development of infrastructure, education, healthcare, and future of Saudi Citizens. All Saudi Citizens get free healthcare and education. Many even get university education for free. Unemployed or poorer Saudi Citizens get social security allowances every month and can be on waiting list for government free housing. Saudi Citizens don't have to pay any income taxes or anything. During the pandemic, the government paid for all Saudi citizens who were stranded in countries abroad. They paid for the accommodation, fees, food, and direct flight tickets to come back to Saudi Arabia. All Saudi wealth is only for the 23 million Saudi Citizens and their future. Regarding the future, Saudi Arabia is preparing well. We're already onto renewable energy production such as Solar Energy and Green Hydrogen. We were one of top producers of fossil fuels and now will be one of the top producers of renewable energy in the future. There's already a giant pipeline in the initial stages of construction that will supply Saudi Green Hydrogen through Greece to Europe. We're also building one of the biggest Solar PV plants in the world. Eventually it would cover a majority of our energy needs and will supply to excess to abroad. In addition, Saudi Arabia has trillions of dollars of untapped rare earth minerals and other valuable things like Bauxite, Uranium, Gold, Lithium, etc. We've just started to increase the mining of these resources. Finally, Saudi Arabia is already in the Electric Car phase. Almost all new infrastructure requires the installation of electric car charging outlets. Saudi Arabia also has a majority share in Lucid Motors and is opening two electric vehicle manufacturing plants very soon. Regarding life in Saudi Arabia, the government under him is more relaxed. The government allows all sects of the citizens to live here peacefully. The religious police is more restrained and can't interfere in political, scientific, security, healthcare etc. matters anymore. Saudi Arabia is also not indulging itself in religious issues of other countries. Also no more free money to neighboring countries or anymore. Just huge loans with late penalty fees. This is better because petty national of issues of other countries/regions (like Lebanon, Palestine, Africa, Pakistan, Srilanka etc) has dragged KSA and caused a lot of trouble in the past. Saudi Arabia also doesn't want to get dragged into matters with Ukraine/Russia/Europe/USA. We have good decent relations with all nations. |
I'm glad investments are being made in renewable energy sources. I hope they leverage the same comparative advantages as fossil fuels gave the country and allow for continued investment and growth.
