    Holding a conference for 100s of attendees + 100s of hangers-on on top of a remote mountain in the alps, at the height of winter, and all in nice business clothes, is an example of global-warming prevention.😅 Bunch of hypocrites😡😡😡😡

    So jaded in their comfort, their purposeful omission of past and recent history is the star of this conversation.

    "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you."

    Excess savings especially in the developed world have disappeared With all the cash splash over covid years, and now excess savings all gone, one should ask: Where have all that savings gone to? It basically means the wealth in the economy have funneled into certain powerful groups, with the wealth of the riches few growing significantly.

  • I would like to ask these leaders in the Forum who or which countries are disturbing the world economy
  • Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.
