Yeah the rich humans do. But KSA is still a country with people and an economy. You still need to be able to generate wealth in your country. National economies don’t get to just retire (though the Japanese may disagree) Otherwise you become a failed state. And when you’re a monarch in a failed state, your life expectancy generally goes down.

So no those fuckers won’t be fine if they can’t diversify away from a fossil fuel based economy at least a little bit. The individual fuckers with the yachts will be fine but the country will not be. And the yacht fuckers don’t get to live forever. Eventually they die and their kids die and the money goes away.

As an avid golfer, I don’t watch it much except for the classic events like US/British open, the masters and maybe a couple others. Couldn’t be bothered to watch LIV and while there are definitely some political grievances for why, it could be run by Norway and I’d still be meh.

motorsport racing like Danny Ric that had to be paid for the remainder of his contract despite being absolutely atrocious and the team not wanting to have him take up a seat? Seems like just another sport where deals are being more guaranteed and longer with less performance bonuses required.
