DAVOS : untrendy
Do you know the cost of attending to the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM ? Let´s see :
- Membership in the World Economic Forum costs 42,500 Swiss francs, or $37,500 at current exchange rates
- Davos gathering, which goes for another 18,000 Swiss francs, or $15,900
- Other expenses…
Which raises the question: What is anybody doing in Davos with the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression worsening by the day?
Well the answer is simple : The first of the six “programme tracks” at the annual meeting is “Promoting Stability in the Financial System and Reviving Economic Growth.” A most worthy topic and one apropos for the World Economic Forum’s professed goal to “contribute towards solving the problems of our age.”
Do we really think that the guys that caused THE PROBLEM are going to be able to bring any solution ??? GOOD LUCK.

Call me superstitious, but a meeting that takes place in Thomas Mann’s ” The Magic Mountain”, could never bring good results to the world.
Meeting in Davos was a morbid idea. Results… up to you to judge.
