Well our situation is all over the TV and social media, thanks to our uncompromising, inflexible, unbending, unyielding, unpersuadable, unmalleable, unaccommodating, uncooperative, stubborn, obstinate, obdurate, pigheaded in short intransigent Precedent.
But remember he didn't get there by himself. TPTB (the powers that be) otherwise known as our elites, our kleptocrats and mo-money men are still making out like the rentier grifters they are.
Around 1,700 private jets flying in to Davos… for World Economic Forum meeting to discuss climate change and global warming
- Around 1,700 private flights are predicted over the course of the week
- A private jet burns as much fuel in an hour as a car does in a year.
Our Neo feudal elites are so looking after us. At Davos a couple of years ago, the New York Times reported that among the summit’s attractions was “a simulation of a refugee’s experience, where [conference] attendees crawl on their hands and knees and pretend to flee from advancing armies”. The article continued, “It is one of the most popular events every year.”
Are we not entertained ?
But wait Climate change, Refugee/migrant problems on the agenda. Maybe the slithy toves are getting a conscience. Nah just jabberwocky reverse psychology while they bandersnatch our wallets.
The market goes down reflecting the end of the longest bull market in history. And Mnuchin wakes up the plunge protection team. Two weeks later we are up a thousand points. The Feral Reserve previously in a QT (Quantitative Tightening) regime of rising interest rates and draw down of FED assets reverses course as do Central banks all over the planet.
But guess what even the elites can’t change the laws of physics they can only paper them over for awhile and the elites know this and they are beginning to be afraid of the debt monster and the manifesting social unrest.
And our real problem: Thermodynamic collapse, Limits to growth on resource extraction and the big one Climate change. That hockey stick is getting ready to knock their blocks off.
“Three decades after Reagan, the nine most laughable words in the English language are: “I’m from the elite and I’m here to help.”
“Pity the poor billionaire, for today he feels a new and unsettling emotion: fear. The world order he once clung to is crumbling faster than the value of the pound. In its place, he frets, will come chaos. Remember this, as the plutocrats gather this week high above us in the ski resort of Davos: they are terrified.” www.resilience.org/…
