A good Planet Money episode from a couple of weeks ago covered what’s
happening inside the country. A lot of utilities that used to be
subsidized are no longer, such as electricity. They talked about how cheap
electricity used to be - so cheap that people would go away for a weekend
and not turn off lights or AC. Now their electric bills have doubled and
quadrupled.
That was just one example of how it’s affecting the locals.
Being a government employee, I especially enjoyed their comments about how
most Saudis work for their government, but not a lot. People often show up
every week or two for work, and that’s about it. It’s rare to be fired
from a government job - if it happens, you don’t really get fired, they
just transfer you to another department.
