This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

We aren't :) Maybe you had us confused with Qataris or Emiratis?

You can see for yourself:

GDP is not a good way to measure a country's wealth.

Last I checked, they don't have gold-coevered palaces in Luxembourg. Nor do they have any means of bulding a 105-mile-long city that will snake through the Saudi desert hosting 9 million people.

Saudi Arabia is filthy rich with oil money and that's a fact that everyone knows.

The US produces more oil than Saudi Arabia
