“Stakeholders” = Malicious busybodies who want to control something that doesn’t belong to them and was built by other peoples’ blood sweat and tears without ever risking their own resources. They remind me of the a$$holes who move in next to a hog farm and then try to put it out of business because they don’t like the smell.

Exactly!
They call themselves the technocratic elites in technocracy.
The following line made me laugh too,
“Salesforce chairman and co-CEO Marc Benioff said on Tuesday that capitalism as we have known it is dead, and this obsession that we have with maximizing profits for shareholders alone has led to incredible inequality and a planetary emergency.”
So because Capitalism works for countries, companies, people, etc... that engage in it we must eliminate it? And what embrace what does not work?
What is even more funny is that none of these so called “elite” are willing to give up most of their money that they earned for a Socialist or Communist state. They are just liars, frauds and fake people.

The biggest change since the 80's is how corporations and even small businesses to some extent, seem to think they have right to set wages thru market manipulation and buying congressmen.

Apparently the next step up the ladder after “Captain of Industry” is “Commisar”.

Globalism is being rejected by the voters, and the Globalist Deep state won't surrender or give up. Why would they? It's not like they've been pursing it for our benefit.

The goal of capitalism is to perpetuate itself. Therefore it must provide a sustainable service at a sustainable price for seller and buyer.

Welcome to the 21st Century version of the medieval “Lord’s Land”... a neo-feudalism!
We shall be serfs serving our global “lords.” Every aspect of our dystopian lives rationed, regulated and controlled! All to “save” the planet. #SerpentLies
Through all of history all tyranny has been imposed for the “common good” and the “safety” of the people! The body count is HUGE and counting!!!
