I don't buy that these people would ever give the peasants a jubilee.

It is strange territory for them, fraught with unforeseeable consequences -- can't really run the stats on something that hasn't happened in centuries.

And the old Malthusian terrors are, evidently, still very much on their minds -- now over climate rather than food.

Would a jubilee cancel bonds?

Government bonds?

Bankruptcy is probably a better system, even if it is abused, as there is no need for everyone to plan around it. I suppose that is part of the intent of a jubilee though, to limit overall lending.

So far, they haven't even succeeded at rebranding themselves as "not the big conference table of Bond villains".

Is there anyone with a non-subjective view of this great reset meme that might share a tldr?

"Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

"Those who recite cryptic verse often have little to say"

Nothing cryptic about the word of Jesus Christ.

"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house."

If the words of Klaus & Co. aren't setting off your alarm bells, I can't help you.
