A major oil-producing nation has been bleeding talent at an alarming rate. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of professionals—engineers, geologists, and other skilled workers—have fled due to economic collapse. The problem? Even if the country manages to boost oil extraction capacity, there's nowhere new to sell it. The global oil market is already oversaturated, which means additional barrels will only depress prices further. This kind of structural mismatch—where supply exceeds demand and human capital keeps leaving—often precedes broader economic unraveling. Worth watching if you're tracking macro trends and how resource-dependent economies navigate market saturation.
