Joel Kotkin reports from Davos that things are not well with Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum. Says he:
The growing irrelevance of what Adrian Wooldridge has labelled “the progressive aristocracy” can even be seen in the less than enthusiastic press coverage. Politico describes the contemporary Davos crowd as a “smart set” which “sounds dumb.”
Then he sticks in the shiv:
The grandees don’t have to travel far to see the results of their “reset” as nearby Germany’s industrial machine collapses, with even its last solar panel plant about to go belly-up.
But then there was Javier Milei’s rousing speech in Davos where he said that economic growth down the centuries looks like a “hockey stick.” No growth since forever, then all of a sudden a takeoff that has reduced extreme poverty from 95% of humanity to 5%.
So how come academia, international organisations, economic theorists and politicians demonise an economic system that has not only lifted 90% of the world’s population out of extreme poverty but has continued to do this faster and faster?
Good point, Javier. How come all these experts think that they can run the economy better than the businessmen? And what do we do about it?
I have a simple solution. It is this:
EVERYBODY: STAY IN YOUR LANE!
If you are an academic, stick to counting the number of angels on the head of a pin. And remember this: if “experts agree” on the number of angels, it means that someone has corrupted you. Experts never agree, because every expert believes in his own pet theory, and knows that the other expert´s theory isn’t worth the paper it is printed on. Stay In Your Lane, academics and experts!

Power still corrupts.
Marx was an angry failure and he took out his anger on all the successful people who were able to build a better world. He hated those guys. His adherents are just the same.
Sounds?

“One should be embarrassed to be associated with the fanatically chimerical WEF”
That’s right, but they’re not. Useful Idiots are rarely embarrassed.
Communists always wreck everyone else’s life before moving on to the next problem.
Money just makes it easier.

Nobody would be embarrassed to fly to Switzerland in January for sumptuous buffets and a grand selection of hookers. All they have to do is sit through a bunch of boring seminars and then they get to go to some lavish cocktail parties. They don’t ever want it to end. They are laser focused on being able to go again next year.
Well I hope and pray that wef falls into obscurity, but have a feeling that they might be tied into the end times as their drive for global unity aligns with prophecy about the end times for sure.
Next year they should invite HAMAS and get their input on globalization.
Wealth and supposed intellect do not license not minding your own damn business!!!
Useful idiots have no conscience or boundaries.
That’s right.
People my age were taught by their parents to mind their own business. That seems to be no longer the case.
