Or, Monsters in Gucci, or Welcome to the WEF's Global Collaboration Village

There is a real Swiss town called Davos. In this real Swiss town, a lot of lunatics with more money than they know what to do with gather once a year, protected from the rabble at the gate by an army of security guards.

There, they wax eloquent about what they’re going to do to make the rabble’s lives better in the coming year—even though the rabble don’t deserve it. In fact, the worry is growing that, given the chance, the ungrateful wretches might tear their benefactors’ arms and legs limb-from-limb.

I mean, what could the elite have ever done to deserve that?

The WEF’s exclusive gathering has been going on for a long time—over 50 years—and each year attendees moan about how everything is getting worse but not to fear, they have the solutions! If only they had more money! Really, this time it’s true, all that’s stopping them is a bigger pot of gold in their Swiss and offshore bank accounts.

You might be forgiven for calling these jetsetters lunatics, seeing as how they live in a totally make-believe world in their own minds. Well, that world is about to get even more delusional.
