Video - A fake slum was built in Davos at the gathering of the ultra rich so they could experience poverty first hand during a break from their 7-star vacation.

seriously??
I’m sure this will humble them. /s
It’s wrong on so many different levels, I can’t even begin to list them.
Couldn’t visit a real slum, could they. For far cheaper, they could have gone to Detroit or Camden.
and while they were at it, they could have given a really poor family the $$$ it cost them to travel to and stay in Davos.
The Lear Jet Leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. They will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.
If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty, you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. Once in, you will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.
The rest of us will eat insect and swelter – ‘for the good of the planet’.
Marie Antoinette did something similar at Versailles.
There is no better fraud than Fareed to narrate the story of this rich man’s S&M session.
Perfect. Best part? The ‘super rich’ using glue sticks that would cost more than the slum person they are simulating would earn in a week making paper bags. And all the while, the group who did this is pulling in millions for high priced salaries (and ‘exhibitions’ like this one) rather than, well, you know, getting dirty helping people in slums.
A 7-star slum, no doubt! Can you imagine? “I say good sir, would you be so kind as to immediately hand me the keys to your Rolls? Be warned, my good man, should you decline I may be forced to deal with you in a rather bumptious manner indeed!!” /s;)
A Reverse-Potemkin Village!?!?
Only the political left.
Just when you think they can’t get any more bizarre....
They’d have to hang around the real unwashed.
And we know, homie don’t play that.
Sounds typical. Like they’re going to go to a REAL slum? Fake poor people for the hoidy-toidy to cluck disapprovingly at... Hey, just like the ones outside the boundaries of any tourist-y cities found worldwide, my ex-boss’ mother even reported Hawaii not far from their hotel’s perimeter got scary-ugly quick.
Tarantula stew,yummy!
