A lot of this is because they see plastics as the way to keep on extracting oil even if countries decide that burning it isn’t a good idea.
Saudi Arabia is cancer. I’m sorry to all the people that were born there.

Unnoticed? We have known for years, we are just unwilling to do anything about it.

Unnoticed implies that it is a problem of informing the public.
The public (the publ8c who cares about issues and reads news) already knows. Our politicians just talk it away and do nothing to address it.
Go on, give 'em a world cup

The root of evil remains the economic system. If there’s profit to be made from suffering it will be made. Capitalism has no hell where evildoers go. The fear of it does get people to straighten up somewhat during their life.

Qatar is a very rich country with ample of money. It could have properly facilitated with a bit of human treatment for the foreign labourers coming from not so rich countries in order to earn and provide for their family.
The universal truth about rich people everywhere, is that they never feel like they have enough money.
Also, no human rights. Except if you believe in brainrot bullshit and are a straight male.

It is the Saudi royal family that is the cancer
As a Saudi who was born and live there, it has always baffled me how, despite the government and royal family being comically evil, the majority will still support them.
Even if you tell them and show them proof of the horrible crimes against humanity that happens daily, they’ll either try to justify it, or brush it off saying “doesn’t affect me”.

If you were Saudi you would have known the answer to this. 🥕🏒
