Oh and this: Saudi Arabia cuts funding for students abroad - Feb. 9, 2016
Thousands of Saudis may be forced to abandon their dream of studying overseas because of the oil price crash.
With its budget under enormous pressure, Saudi Arabia is having to cut back the generous scholarship program that supported 200,000 students abroad in 2015.
The government has been forced to tighten the rules of the $6 billion King Abdullah Scholarship Fund, limiting it to those attending one of the top 100 universities globally, or studying a program rated in the top 50 in its field. |
Saudi Arabia is fucked. Their entire economy was based on oil. This worked great for them for the past fifty years but that's over. It's becoming easier and easier to pull oil out of the ground, and more and more countries are discovering large oil reserves themselves and now have the ability to get it. The United States went from being a large oil consumer to one of the world's largest oil producers.
Combined with electric cars becoming more common in the next ten - twenty years.... The world will have less of a need for oil.
Saudi Arabia is going to collapse and it's going to be a disaster.
