The wisdom of these gigprojects in the middle of a desert aside, it would be awesome more governments would stop trying to run themselves into the ground for profit. Because who the fuck is benefiting if a country is taking more in taxes then they are providing their citizens in services?

Which countries are running on a profit, exactly?

Loads of countries have budget surpluses.

I asked which ones. Denmark has a surplus, but that's accidental and no one's trying to keep it that way.

And if you're about to give Qatar as an example, the point is moot.
