Klaus Schwab bailed on the Day 1 Meet and Greet at TGI Freitags, that’s basically the Swiss/German version of Applebees. I had a seat at the back of the venue where I was ready to give the old Kraut a piece of my mind, but ten minutes before he was scheduled to sprechen Sie 20230 agenda, he canceled.
During the awkward wait the World Economic Forum eunuchs provided us with a tasty spread of specially flown in American beef and Chinese Peking roast duck. That’s gonna leave a Carbon footprint on my gut!
In Klaus’ place a spokesman for Blackrock was drafted to talk about their new Bitcoin ETF and how all the world is going to be covered in digital currency juice. Cobra Commander urged us ‘fellow elites’ to get in now before everything goes to the moon.
After that we were all herded like sheep into a room where we got our new digital IDs for the conference. I felt pretty lucky because this would allow me to track Klaus down and give him a piece of my mind. Can I get a Honk, Honk. But to my dismay I found that my access card only allowed me to enter general admission events and I wouldn’t be allowed to ask questions. Ask nothing and be happy! I was also told to never be farther than 15 minutes from my hotel room at the Spenglers Inn, as climate change was threatening avalanches around Davos.
Anyway, back in my room now watching Peaky Blinders and ordering currywurst from TGI Freitags. Gotta get some sleep. Tomorrow morning I’ve got an early Champagne Breakfast meeting with the gang from Fox and Friends and Rebel News.
