Watching tonight on PBS News Hour that Saudi Arabia is going to become a modern economy. Yeah right. Saudi is an authoritarian regime running a crony capitalism kingdom milking the easiest oil to drawn in the world so for it to restructure into a modern economy and throttle back its dependence on oil, like all it takes is a 30 year old prince's say so, is the delusion depicted in the Tom Hanks movie: "A Hologram for the King" as the Saudi city of the future; a lot of waiting around for nothing.
