How about the Davos crowd first give up their private jets?
If the World Economic Forum (WEF) has its way, the number of cars around the world will be reduced by 75% by 2050. How ironic that the denizens of Davos who spend much of their lives being chauffeured back and forth from international conferences hate cars.
The goal is buried in a briefing paper released last month called “The Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility.” It points out that more than two-thirds of the world’s population will be urban by 2050. If we are to meet their needs and achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement, the report recommends “electrification, public transport and shared mobility.”
This will mean a lot fewer cars: “Reduce vehicles from a potential 2.1 billion to 0.5 billion.” That is a radical drop with fewer than 30 years to do it. But this, it says, “could slash emissions from passenger vehicles by 80% compared to a business-as-usual scenario—reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by 3.9 billion tons a year.”
World Economic Forum’s May 2023 Global New Mobility Coalition ‘briefing paper’ “in collaboration with Visa” – The forward was co-written by Douglas Sabo, the Chief Sustainability Officer with Visa and the WEF’s Jeff Merritt who is the “Head of Urban Transformation” at WEF.

I will peel SchwBs cold dead fingers off my steering wheel if he tries to steal it.
Climate Change is not something most Americans are concerned about.
Try to take their automobiles away from them, and I don’t think you’re going to be prepared for the reaction.
WEF: ESAD
Just when the Red Chinese and India Indians can actually afford these things in serious numbers, European elites try to tell them no.
all so they can always have a good parking space
good time to get in on the ground floor of

Cost is relative.
Taking your primary mode of transportation is a direct assault on an individuals well being.
When the slow drip suddenly turns into a raging torrent, the situation is no longer comparable, IMO.
I just bought a 2004 Chevy Venture with 160,000 miles. I intend for that and my wife’s 2018 Toyota Avalon to last all of our days. I will spend more than the vehicles are worth in coming years to keep them going. I am in AZ, so rust is not a big problem.
“... shared mobility” only applies to the masses. The elites will continue with their private jets and limos.
I dream of a world in which they are all headed to Bilderberg in their private jets and suddenly all their cabins depressurize and the jets go full Payne Stewart for a thousand miles until they all crash into the ocean and disappear.
To the world’s ruling elite, a mobile society is a threat to them.
Rush’s song “Red Barchetta” predicted this.
“The World Economic Forum Is Coming for Your Cars”
Can’t see how that would affect Americans. But Putin invading Russia, now that is something to REALLY get worked up about.
LOL.
Thanks to government education and media, in twenty years the average American will have next to nothing.
He won’t wonder why he has so little and will be ignorantly happy to have the crumbs that he has.
Ahhh, so that’s why no women know about this.
I believe if they really start confiscating cars and gas appliances and home ACs all of a sudden all the elites private jest and limos will be mysteriously destroyed by people just trying to “Save the Planet”.
What the IMF envisions dovetails with “the 15 minute city” concept. The idea isn’t to pry your hands from steering wheels, but to make you hate having to use them. One example - the re-working of the main roadways in New Haven CT imagines Oslo or Copenhagen. In the past year they doubled the traffic lights and added crosswalks and speedbumps. Pure folly, except it costs us all freedom and money. The panhandlers love it.
I hope Russia bombs Davos in January. The elimination of autos is an existential threat to their main source of income.
No problem..... my car self identifies as a bicycle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
