I think Davos has a pretty serious PR problem. They have dubbed themselves like essentially a self-appointed Illuminati for the rest of us and that they're going to set some global agenda. I think this year's agenda was like finding the future or defining the future. Nobody asked these people to be in charge. And when you actually peel it back as Chemoff correctly pointed out, Davos is a huge grift. If we are going to cut global trade ties that we've depended on historically and start to build redundancy, can we afford this as a country? Can the West afford this given economic slowdowns and inflation right now?"
