A miracle drug that helps millions lose weight is colliding with a brutal corporate reality: somebody has to pay for it, and employers are increasingly saying 'not us.'
For ten years, the UAE quietly capped its own oil production to keep Saudi Arabia solvent. Then a war with Iran exposed the bill — and Abu Dhabi decided it was done paying.
On May 1st, the UAE walks out of OPEC+ with 1.5 million spare barrels and a roughly $1.7 trillion war chest. This isn't a quota fight — it's an oil-price ambush Saudi Arabia cannot survive.
Imagine paying your boss a million rubles just to get medical leave after being shot. For Russian soldiers in Ukraine, that's not a metaphor — it's the price list.
