I think it's abhorrent how supposedly democratic countries don't see an issue with a private event just for politicians and international corporations.
It was supposed to sound like a good thing, but it was out of context, so made me think, why even mention it, almost like they have an agenda to sell here.
Why do some HNers think Davos is a secret gathering where evil is planned? If they really wanted to have a secret gathering, they can do it Jeffrey Epstein-style with private flights and zero fanfare (even US presidents manage to fly to Afghanistan without many people noticing), it shows your lack of imagination if you think the widely announced and publicized event is supposed to be a conspiracy gathering.
Yeah no one else does either.
It's not like the WEF is super exclusive, I remember seeing a job offer from a small tech company who got bought for 10M Euro, I read about this company's history and found the founder's Facebook page. He had pictures of a prop plane, I think he spent some of the money learning to fly, and 2-3 pics where he's in Davos, including a blurry selfie of him standing in line for lunch at the WEF in front of Bill Clinton.
Who needs to conspire secretly when you can do it publicly, and then turn around and say it's not a conspiracy since it's out in the open?
