Even knowing this allows for the questions being asked, Humperdinck. It is one thing to have franchisees operating in your country. That doesn’t answer the legal and technical mechanics of the actual Saudi Government arranging for this. It’s also well known but not common knowledge that the royal family owns a lot of the businesses in the country anyway so the lines are extra blurry but the point is that none of this is like…in the zeitgeist or something. Certainly not straightforward enough to rate such a shirty response.
