I started to read the Klaus Schwab piece on there (A Better Economy is Possible). I had to stop. After reading various things on r/superstonk about how the banks and the financial industry are screwing people over with all their little monetary "tricks", it was maddening to read his blathering about how capitalism (that is to say, the companies and industries that actually produce things rather than leech off of everyone else) are somehow to blame for everything that's wrong in the world.
He claims that it's the short-sightedness of Capitalism that's the problem, not the fact that there is a whole financial sector of unelected twats who gamble daily with the economies of the world. People who play fast and loose with peoples' savings and pensions in order to make a short-term profit.
The whole thing reeks of "Create-A-Crisis": start oozing your collectivist ideas into government and society and when things begin to break down because of those ideas, claim it's that "we aren't doing enough". That somehow the old system which was lifting people up out of poverty and crime for the first time in history was somehow to blame - not their stupid, fundamentally chaotic social ideas.
TL:DR - Can modern R&D create a trebuchet large enough to launch people like Klaus Schwab into the Sun?
The problem with how capitalism has been expressing in America has been the faulty 'creation' of capital... interest bearing debt based currency isn't true currency, it's parasitic, and the flaws in the economy made by it is not a reflection on Capitalism, but on the fed, the central bankers, and the parasitic class. Money is a measurement of value, and a medium of exchange, no more, no less.
My dad once told me a story of a man coming to Canada from a commie country, and being taken to a grocery store by a Capitalist... The Capitalist took him to the aisle where the canned beans were neatly staked on the shelves. He pointed to one can, and said: 'You see these beans? These are very good beans.', then pointed to another brand of beans on the shelf: 'And these beans, they are also very good beans.'. Waving his hands over the entire shelf of beans, he said: 'All of these beans on this shelf are all very good beans, because the competition that Capitalism encourages ensures that everyone selling beans, must sell very good beans, or they won't sell. Capitalism encourages excellence.'.

Anal Schwab?
