How the fuck is Saudi Arabia's HDI so high?

>>1921627
Oil

>>1921633
Pretty much this, even though they are still stuck socially in medieval times.

>>1921627
What? US HDI is also high.

>>1921627
How is the US so high? Half the country is in poverty.

>>1921643
Have you ever traveled there? Socially they're more sophisticated than any western country I've traveled to.

how is Spain and Greece's HDI so high?

>>1921649
Oh yeah, it's so sophisticated to have a police force dedicated to rooting out witchcraft.

>>1921627
because they are fucking rich

>>1921654

HDI is a measurement of infrastructure, not values.

>he fell for the pay denbts meme

>>1921627
they don't count the living standards of the "migrant workers"

>>1921700

HDI is purely a measurement of infrastructure. It does not factor in living standards.

>>1921654
The society upholds their government. Its not like they're being oppressed and want a change. They were actually the ones raising some of these issues. Ignorant liberals see otherwise.

>>1921649
you're joking right?

>>1921680
What?

Democracy value and women in government/labor force is considered in HDI.

>The Human Development Index (HDI) is a tool developed by the United Nations to measure and rank countries' levels of social and economic development based on four criteria: Life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling and gross national income per capita.

Even our poor earn twice the global average GDP-per-capita.

As an economics student, I kek'd at this.

Saudi Monarchy lives in constant fear of some Salafist or Wahhabi cleric getting upset about reforms or modernization society, and trying to overthrow them.

Saudi is wahhabi though.

>>1921904
saudis are wahabis, they're the reason the cult bullshit called wahabis become relevant in the first place

>>1921960
>>1922240
They are held hostage by the Wahhabis, the Saudi Prince-heir is currently trying to modernize his country and wean it off oil, something that along with benefit cuts will surely upset the fanatics.

>>1922240
i think anon is trying to say that the Saudi royal family isn't always motivated by wahabi doctrine when governing and always has to deal with some fanatical cleric going off the reservation because saudi princeling #73758 is okay with a woman appearing on live TV without a burkha on

>>1922244
Uh no he isn't.

>>1921627
How is the USA dark green but France and Belgium not?

Is being a mid level saudi prince the best existence a man can hope for nowadays? Just enough money to take regular flights to the Caribbean to partake in cocaine orgies, but not high profile enough to draw the ire and scorn of the rest of the Saudi royal family and all of the responsibilities that come with being a high level prince.

they're doing that while importing their cancerous brand of islam throughout the muslim world, you hate terrorists? extremism? they're the source

even if they're not wahabis, the gulf arabs are the most hypocrite, immoral people on earth, they're trashy people, the most degenerate materialistic people who instead of spending their money to good cause, either spend their money on whores, prostitute or gawdy shit like golden toilets and golden cars, or worse, use them to support terrorist and extremist organisation, making muslims around the world became brainwashed terrorist faggot while at the same time sucking america and israel dick

the worst people on earth, and Im a muslim

Muslims are being cucked because of these shit skins. Muslims don't even teach their kids jihad anymore because of the bad taste associated with now. You got scholars now claiming gays are okay and approved of that whore being in playboy all to please a bunch of western kaffirs while they fund Saudi and their fake Islam to wipe you out.

>>1921878
Nope

>>1921645
Firstly the H.D.I is a shit measurement and its' accounts of 'education' is bullshit and its account of longevity is inevitably decades ahead of what it should reflect

>>1922650
Killing them in the east liberating them in the west. What's going to happen to the Saudis when the west is done using them though?

>>1922281
aheh

The only reason Saudi Arabia is relevant in any way is oil.

>>1921627
Why is Egypt so low?

>>1921627
How is the U.K., Sweden and Australia so high?

>>1922256
>France
Unemployment, poverty, low mean years of schooling
>Belgium
Shitty infrastructure.

Is it really surprising the US is so high up?

>>1921627
Because they fudge their statistics by excluding the half of the population that are foreign work slaves.
