Did anyone expect otherwise? Even the Saudis?
I kinda expected to build like a visor center and a tramstop not connected to anything.
I sometimes wonder why the Gulf States just don't build a giant flaming Mammon head to throw their excess wealth in, it's probably a easier way to eat up all that dead capital than planning all these bullshit mega projects.
I mean, I kinda assume none if that money is like, actually real. All just spreadhseet stuff they hypothetically have but can't really spend, but investing it and hiding losses still works out.
I am with it though. A world where we have cool bullshit megaprojects is a better world than we have.
