World Economic Forum Calls For An End To Private Car Ownership
The Counter Signal ^ | 07/25/22 | Keean Bexte

Posted on 07/26/2022 5:17:03 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for the end of private car ownership in the name of saving the world from climate change by reducing the need for green tech resources.

The WEF wants to end private car ownership The WEF wants to end private car ownership

“We need a clean energy revolution, and we need it now,” the WEF begins its article.

According to the WEF, critical metals, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel — all of which are used in “clean energy technologies” — are in short supply. And while the WEF says recycling old tech that uses these metals could lessen the impact of shortages, it’s simply not enough.

“The complication is that we do not currently have enough metals in circulation, and even with recycling taken into consideration, mineral production is still forecasted to increase by nearly 500%. So how should we proceed?” the WEF asks.

Top of the list of solutions for how the WEF thinks we should proceed is to “Go from owning to using.”

Sound familiar?

“Be honest,” the WEF continues, “you likely have at least one old mobile phone tucked in the bottom of a drawer. Possibly an unused hard drive taking up space too. You aren’t alone. The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time… This is not at all resource efficient. More sharing can reduce ownership of idle equipment and thus material usage. Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.”

The WEF adds that people should not only give up their ownership of everything from cars to smartphones but that technologies and civilization need to be redesigned to facilitate this transition.

“To enable a broader transition from ownership to usership, the way we design things and systems need to change too… A design process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for product purchasing is fundamental to this transition. This is the mindset needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages.”

Of course, transitioning from people owning things to essentially just renting them won’t be easy. The WEF acknowledges this but says it’s totally worth it. Just trust them.

It is important to expose organizations like this with their destructive ideas, because then it will be that more difficult for them to put the short end of the wedge in to try to realize these ideas.

Since when did this unelected body get to dictate to us how we live our lives and blackmail us with unlawful actions to take away our civil rights to assuage their religious beliefs?

These vile tyrants care not a wit about “the environment.” If they did they would not be polluting it with their filth.

Well there you have it. Only people supposed to have electric cars are your betters serfs. You can walk or ride a bike. Do not say you have to get to work, because that is no excuse. You won’t be needed anyway after they jab more liquid vomit in your veins and feed your corpse to you neighbors who are tired of eating roaches and larvae..

The NYT says so. /sarc

Eventually we will have to find a way to reduce the population of Davos attended by about 90%. They are useless eaters and most be dealt with. They need to understand that their time is over. They will also need to be placed under constant surveillance and also should not be allowed to own anything.

Especially founders with Nazi family backgrounds who sounds like a Nazi villain.
I’m sure these Davos attendees will understand why they must go.

I’m sure private car ownership wont end for the members of WEF. “Some are more equal than others”

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and according to the authority granted to believers in Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and Luke 10:19, we now bind the strongman (luke 11:20) over all evil spirit powers operating over and in the World Economic Forum and the entity known as Klaus Schwab.

Continuing on in the same authority of Jesus Christ, we loose the warrior angel spirits of heaven to attack, chop up, cut down, burn up, and shred into numerous small pieces these strongman evil spirits so bound.

Holy angels, please Attack attack attack.

And we request that the bound and beat up evil strongmen be replaced with spirits of Holiness Unto The Lord.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Now, about those mansions and private jets…. Not at all resource efficient, are they?

This is what Democracy looks like.

Trust the WEF? Well, sure, but the question is...trust them to what end? It’s the same old stuff all over again...”All for me & none for thee”. They are trying to put everyone back at the same starting point; essentially the Stone Age..except for a select few. I think most of us would rather go back to a different starting point; essentially the U.S. Constitution.

Owning nothing.
Being happy.
This techno-feudalism is so awesome.

As I have posted on this site on several occasions, they don’t just want people out of gasoline and diesel cars. They want them out of ALL vehicles. If they can take away the gas and diesel cars, they will declare the electric ones completely impractical and outlaw them as being too much of a drain on the electric grid.

This is about taking away ALL freedom to travel when and where people themselves decide to go.

No cars means no freedom.

Dear WEF, Go pound sand. It’s none of your damn business what I own or don’t own. It’s called “freedom”.
