“...one thing you learn is that they’re not always so smart.”
I’ve never been to Davos, and I didn’t have to go there to learn this simple fact.
John Kerry being there is all you have to know, to come to that conclusion. One of the dumbest SOB’s on Earth.
People think we have governments in DC and Ottawa but this is our government. We should have people on the scene going into all meetings, taking notes, asking questions, bringing up concerns. Let’s see if our government would like to interact with us. I think I know the answer (release the hounds, or I guess the Saint Bernards).
But it would be appropriate if let’s say 100k anti-globalist protestors descended on Davos and made it clear that we have dealt with tyrants before, and will deal with them again, in the same way, for the same reasons.
If they didn’t seek to enforce their views through obviously bought or blackmailed politicians, then I wouldn’t care, if they want to meet to discuss their world view, fine, but when it’s enforced as policy by their client governments, not answerable to us apparently, but certainly to the people who organize Davos, then it IS our government and should be accountable to us. And what they do becomes our business. I bet they all enjoy the escorts (hookers) and possibly kids and same sex orgies, then the politicians get home and find out pictures were taken and it wasn’t just a guy in a castle being a swell guy, it was to put them on the payroll and to expect results, or else, pictures or lawsuits would appear at some unfortunate time.
Passed thru in Summer, where they are not there.
You are not missing too much.
It is just soo expensive, I could not afford to stay even one day! Barely could afford a lunch, selecting the cheapest from the menu in the cheapest place there.
Otherwise average!
Those people do not know how to ski, but pretend.
It is a place to be seen and to show that you can afford it!
Playground to the rich!
They are just above of us, plebs, they know better, what’s good for you!
Snobs!
