Unfortunately there is no one calling the shots. We’re all just drifting.

Billionaire doing the wrong thing is just a really simple story that journalists know how to write. The rest of the world is a convoluted mess.

I mean, I halfway agree with you. The World Economic Forum meets up annually. It's a real sanitized name for entrenched wealth, sounds super official, like a neighborhood bus line that fancies itself the "generic county transit authority". I too can call myself an authority on something but that doesn't make it so. Lol.

No one attending was voted into power, all but a handful were born into it. There doesn't need to be any one person in charge when all their motivations already align. Humanity is not inherently hierarchle. So they shmooze, exchange tips, fuck each other wives while wearing masks to hide who they are (you really think Kubrick would've made Eyes Wide Shut if he didn't know that that kind of shit happens irl. Theyl discuss strategies on how to fuck over everyone else on the planet so they'll never have to sweat a drop from hard work unless they want to. They share Panama paper worthy plans and stories from their trips to whomever replaced Epstein. Cuz someone did. I trust the rich two things only, one is be callously, obscenely greedy as fuck and the other: the world's largest collection of pedophiles and rapists. When you can buy anything, including people's children's innocence, with no consequences, what's left to buy? Nothing. Nothing but

Power.

id totally give up a genies wish to make everyone attending their annual event, and their entire poison pill blood line, teleport to the bright side surface of mercury, immediately.

My 2nd wish would be to rapture every Christian to the heliopause.

Humanity would be so much better off, idk if I even need the 3rd wish then
