Davos Meeting: Let's pretend we care

Ah yes, the annual meeting of the rich white men and arrogant government leaders to compare penis size aka levels of money and perceived power.

Of course, Trump will be there as a keynote speaker. A selfish, spoiled, privileged, and obese white man who can never have enough power or money. A human who will stop at nothing to get more of both including destroying the American middle and lower classes, raping the environment, and of course the premature deaths of poor and ill people by taking away their health insurance.

Apparently, rich people are starting to get nervous about the wealth inequality that has been widening over the past 20 years. With the new Trump tax plan, the wealth gap is about to get about 100x worse. Rich folks are starting to worry that the populist movement might result in elected officials that actually care about everyday people. And, gasp! These decent humans may pass laws that help someone other than the top 1%. So, to try to quiet the poor and stupid masses, the rich, oh so intelligent individuals at the Davos meeting will 'talk' about how to solve these vexing issues. But make no mistake, all they will do is talk. Because as we've seen over the past 20 years, no person in power who attends meetings like this one would ever put the fate of millions of people ahead of making a few more million dollars for themselves or to solidify their power.

They should be scared of the populist movement. Because populist does not just mean racist, gun-toting Americans. Populist means fighting for the people at the middle and the bottom of society that are being pushed into poverty and despair by the selfish people at the top. I'm sick of the 1% running the show. All I've seen is how terrible they are at that job. A day of reckoning is coming, and I suggest the people at Davos 'talk' about how their time is coming to an end.

***Of note, I refer to the all the Davos meeting attendees as white men. They are in fact about 20% women and of course, a handful of brown and black individuals. Let's just acknowledge what we all know: the attendee percentages of women and people that are not white are not representative of the world populations. Our present day wealth inequalities are directly because of the actions of rich, white men. Period.
