I just don't see why someone would think that billionaires can be morons.
As much as I hate the WEF, they aren't in direct control over most things. They just have a financial and influence racket, and most of their time they are trying to react to sudden pressures or events. Also, their taste in music is terrible. Most of the stuff that actually happens at Davos is fart-huffing. They're still a dangerous cabal, but they are typically missing shit that many of us would find obvious due to their lack of exposure or prioritization of information.
You have to remember these are managers we are talking about. The people running these old corporations aren't self-made billionaires like Lindell or Trump - who had "a small loan of a million dollars". They got where they are by being skilled at company politics (including brown-nosing and virtue signaling) and nepotism.
Yes, absolutely. If we were run by Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, or JP Morgan alive and well; we'd be actually in pretty good shape (we just wouldn't be free). It's one of my annoyances with Tucker Carlson: he's an industrialist. He wants a kind of industrialist oligarchy to run the country in a Chicago-School style economic way. I don't blame people for thinking that; that's a thousand times better than what we have; but none of those people are in positions of power.
The families of those same men are basically just monetary vehicles for other organizations. Those families are just husks of the men who made them.
What we have in front of us is actually far more horrifying than a secret cabal of dangerous and ruthless men enacting a scheme: we actually just have a hundred different factions of bureaucrats fighting among themselves for dominance of their own agenda; while their only unifying principle is their hatred of dissenters and people outside their racket. Some factions have larger paymasters, and some do not, but that only makes the situation more chaotic and more untenable.
The terrifying reality is that we think we here voices in the cockpit planning on crashing the plane. So, we kick the door open, only to realize that the cockpit is empty. There is no one in charge at all. The voice we heard is merely the GPWS alarm blaring: "TERRAIN! TERRAIN! PULL UP! PULL UP!"
I don't recognize OP, so no beef from me.
