INTRO
Watching Davos is painful, sad, and infuriating. This is an edgy post, but it needs to be told. The WEF (World Economic Forum) is an unelected group that meets annually in Davos, Switzerland, and they do not appear to be on our team. And by our team, I mean us, “the regular people”, the “middle class”, “the masses”.
I searched for the WEF approval rating, and there is nothing to be found. Based on the social media feedback, we are not alone with our feelings and thoughts.
It starts with their climate change hypocrisy, ends with them calling us “redundant and useless eaters”, and a truckload of hubris in between. This is not a great look for the globalists, as the 2024 WEF theme is “Rebuilding Trust,”.
THE WEF GLOBAL RISK REPORT
The WEF just published their 2024 risk report, and there is a lot of great content here, as risk is our beat.
The joke is on us if we think Davos can build a solution set to any of theses problems and predicaments. After all, it is quite easy to connect a couple dots in each of the above risk factors to show that they created most every risk on the list. Think fire and arsonist.
We’ll go through a few of these risks and demonstrate how easy it is to map the roots right to the top and back to these same unelected “leaders”.
POLITICAL POLARIZATION
There is not a lot to talk about here, as the name gives it away. Political polarization starts at the top, and our “leaders” have lowered the bar for the planet.
Division, dissension, and hate is their version of leading by example. Political polarization is a major risk, of course. We offered up our version of a solution in a previous post here. The solution is quite simple, which has us almost hopeful. The solution is for them to say and do things that make this graph go higher:
Guessing the WEF approval rating would look a lot like this graph, but lower.
Cost of Living Crisis
It’s no secret that we have debts and deficits as far as the eye can see. Red ink and major losses do not matter anymore.
Every time we have a crisis, they pull out the printing press and inject currency units into the system. This is their only tool in the box, and it is the very definition of inflation. The catch: inflation is now the problem.
The seeds of inflation have been sown for decades. And because our focus at C&P is to keep an eye on solutions, we’ll offer-up an idea: make this graph go lower.
ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
This risk continues to build as we have gone out of our way to repeal the business cycle. So much so, that financialization and the markets have taken over the economy. Every market downturn is met with more debts and deficits.
We’ve given up on balancing the budget, and we refuse to save even during the “good times”. This is third grade math — the longer they kick the can, the higher this risk gets, thus the harder the fall.
DISRUPTED SUPPLY CHAINS
Globalization has a good side (cheaper goods), but now we are seeing the risks. This risk should be well-understood that we all need to work together and get along to keep the party going.
We start to see a common theme: the spread of hate and division enhance this risk as well. The global response to Covid was the capper. And to be very clear, it was not Covid that started the global supply chain issues, it was their response to Covid.
Thanks guys. You’re on a roll.
CENSORSHIP
This one is easy to connect back to the globalists. And the solution is even easier: read the constitution, at least the first amendment.
DISRUPTED SUPPLY CHAINS FOR ENERGY
This risk is a little more complex, but we’ll still take a swing at offering some solutions to another self-inflicted wound.
- Stop bombing your own critical infrastructure (NordStream).
- Stop spreading hate & war.
- Stop floating silly laws, ideas, and proclamations in the energy space that do not pencil out, and allow open discussions from experts.
SKILLS & LABOR SHORTAGE
This problem that they have created can be summarized in one graph:
Potential solution — work on closing this gap.
THE REAL RISK
I am a big believer that a lot the risks and problems today can be traced back to one concept: the inequality gap. We could take things one step further and call it the inequity gap.
INEQUITY MEANING: LACK OF FAIRNESS OR JUSTICE.
We’ll leave you with a few pictures of this over-arching risk (the graphs are older, but you’ll get the idea). And until they stop socializing losses for their private gains, their risk report is worthless.
Our final point and solution revolves around self-reflection. Through the curiosity lens, we ask the globalists: do you think you are repelling or attracting people, nations, and partners?
A PATH FORWARD
The masses are tired of this game (the arsonists putting out the fires they started), and people are pushing back as can be seen by the massive protests in Europe (France, German, and Poland). The trend is clear, and until we get real change at the top, we can expect more of the same. All it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.
Our something starts with awareness. Know the game that is being played. We can also control our response, which revolves around building personal resilience, as outlined in our eBook New Vol.
We’ll give a special shout-out to the emotional bucket of capital. Be as strong as possible emotionally, physically, and spiritually to be prepared for anything and everything that comes our way. Nothing should surprise.
