Global growth is forecast to slow for the third year in a row in 2024, dipping to 2.4% from 2.6% in 2023, the bank said in its latest “Global Economic Prospects” report.

“Without a major course correction, the 2020s will go down as a decade of wasted opportunity,” Indermit Gill, the World Bank Group’s chief economist and senior vice president, said.

Wasted opportunity for what? To control every aspect of our lives?

Folks, these people are pure evil, make no mistake.

Half-decade? Sounds like a 5-year plan.

I still say there will be a Global Economic Crash.

Then, a Global Digital Currency.

Then, Satan’s anti-messiah, the Antichrist.

YMMV
