[Craic] Profit and affordable housing don’t mix. Period | The Star

[Arthur Blomme]

Thank you David for posting the agenda of The Davos EMF meeting of the 
billionaire class. The Davos crowd are now calling their new enlightened 
system, stakeholder capitalism because now the elites have the best 
interests of all of us in mind.  I don't believe any of it.  The 
billionaire class have benefited from the greatest wealth transfer in 
history these past years.

Remo the Davos crowd and the World Economic Forum are non-profits 
pushing for more regulation on a global scale which means less 
democracy.  I believe that rather than regulation and experts from on 
high we need less regulation ,  constitutional rights and freedoms and 
worker ownership of our essential industries.  We need more powerful  
local government and control not more powerful control by global 
authorities representing the interests of the billionaire class.

seems that the Davis crowd have decided  to subsume all governments 
under the authority of the WHO for future pandemic events.   meaning 
that the Who decides when there is a pandemic and how the world will 
deal with it in terms of lockdowns.
