The Great Big Green Saudi Monster

You may be mistaken to think that all in Saudi live in har-money. That may have been the case decades ago. But its a different story now.
It has been developing for quite a while now, a keeping up with the Jabers mentality. As money has replaced all scales of comparison, all the public complain about now is how low there job class/grade is compared to their needs. Inflation & the poverty line are the new popular jargon.
And once in a while, the powers may be, will grant a pay scale enhancement to a particular group (this year it is teachers, last year it was doctors) and all hell will brake lose in the media. As newspapers will turn into comment battlegrounds between the receivers of such benefits defending the decision, and everyone else saying that they don't deserve it/they are already overpaid/our job class demands the same increase.
This shows a very serious change in the collective personality of Saudis, as they were known to "love thy brother" suddenly, its "screw thy brother, better me than him"
I don't know if this is a poisonous taste of things to come, but if hatred is brewing over future toilet paper, I wonder how stable the jar is really.

The Saudi Death Toll or Fee

Riyadh is drowning, with water this time. And while officials could squirm out of responsibility with the dust storms. This time, they can't do an encore.

Billions of dollars were spent on contracts to make sure water-sewage were optimisied in the most important city of Saudia.

And, just as what happened in Jeddah, another catastrophe strikes. Buildings collapsed, trees toppled, cars submerged, and tunnels turned to canals.

Needles to say, there were casualties. That is expected in a pour that turned traffic into stepping stones.

(picture from here, more as well)

When jeddah gate happened, the King gave orders to compensate each family with a death with $1000000 Riyals (about $280k). People were taken by surprise and some vile scum didn't have time to act, so murder for profit amongst inharmonious relatives were kept to a minimum. The fear here is that many may think this may hold similar plunder potential and have planned out their deeds.

We need a CSI unit flown in, and have them bring some sewage and flood experts as well.
