Davos is nothing but a holiday for a few 'top dogs' and a complete waste of time.

Davos itself is an global elite body!

Surely it’s a question of what is the point of it all if the elite are against meaningful change for the betterment for all and not their own interests. So Pure and Simply ...... No!

Faced with a world of troubles, will Davos offer any solutions?The global elite have a lot on their gilded plates as they gather for the World Economic Forum The world would be better off if the Earth swallowed up everyone at Davos. No. They still believe in their damned world destroying global economy, with its highly focused riches. They'll try to throw their globalism 4.0 at you, but the warming seas and melting ice don't care about their schedule or riches and neither will the anaerobic bacteria. This bloke has a solution. It's probably better than any other that's been put forward so far.

Davos 2019: What to watch for at the World Economic ForumAs many world leaders stay away, will any progress be made at ‘family reunion for the people who broke the world’? People using much of the worlds resources on unused homes, yachts and private jets and finding ways to tell off the general population for not turning their heating down enough? I know exactly what to expect at the World Economic Forum: more wealth for those who already have more than they'll ever need. The remaining 90% of the human race won't even come into play. Davos: For the few by the very few. WASTE OF SPACE.

Action not words needed over biggest public health failure of our time: pneumonia | Larry ElliottGlobal elite at Davos 2019 must do more than talk about real-world problems 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Very good article. Sadly, Davos will change nothing in this and other issues. Its participants' purpose is to network, boost their businesses & increase their wealth; helping poor and changing health care systems to be accessible does not serve this purpose. Same for the pharma. Thank you. Just yesterday a woman told me her young daughter is sick with pneumonia. I had it as a kid & was hospitalized for a week. Sharing the CDC’s recommendations.

Global elites face populist assault as they gather for Davos conferenceWorld leaders meet as once-dominant ideology of global trade threatened by nationalism Popular, not populist, methinks That really really sucks for them. Perhaps they can wipe their tears with 100's? RaiseTheWage “Immediately, the protesters were denounced as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes. The elites present themselves as anti-fascist and anti-racist but this is merely a way of defending their class interests.”
