Closer to none than some, I would assume.
Saudi Arabia and human rights abuse?? Say it ain't so!
Better fill up my tank
21,000+ dead and 100,000+ missing sounds like a war is happening in Saudi Arabia. Those are shocking numbers.
Wait they are actually building this thing? I though it was just another fever dream
It's becoming difficult to tell the difference.
One of those Australian executives, Wayne Borg, was accused of making several racist comments about laborers. After three workers died from a falling pipe, a wall collapse, and the mishandling of explosives, Borg said over obtained audio: “A whole bunch of people die so we’ve got to have a meeting on a Sunday night.”
That last quote sounds like something a Borg would say. Resistance is futile.
Although I do find the idea of arcologies intriguing, building one on death, slavery, and other human rights abuses really taints it.
It's OK everyone. They were poor and brown.
