What Cong. Gallagher *Won't* Learn at Davos

We mentioned last week that Cong. Mike Gallagher (R?-WI) is going to Davos for the World Economic Forum meet-up.  We do not know if he's arriving on a private G-5 jet or flying in on Frontier, but who cares?  He's with the Rich, Famous, and Dominator-Class folks.

UPDATE:  Gallagher will no longer attend according to this report.

The World Economic Forum’s annual meet-up kicks off today. Politicians, corporate giants, “philanthropists” and all manner of elite monstrosities gather for a weekend of telling each other how smart they are and making the world generally worse....

Here's what's on the menu:

... See if you can notice a pattern:

    Addressing the Current Energy and Food Crises in the context of a New System for Energy, Climate and Nature

    Addressing the Current High Inflation, Low Growth, High Debt Economy in the context of a New System for Investment, Trade and Infrastructure

    Addressing the Current Industry Headwinds in the context of a New System for Harnessing Frontier Technologies for Private Sector Innovation and Resilience

    Addressing the Current Social Vulnerabilities in the context of a New System for Work, Skills and Care

    Addressing the Current Geopolitical Risks in the context of a New System for Dialogue and Cooperation in a Multipolar World

Now, none of this is news. A “new system” for energy is a “green new deal”, a “new system” for international cooperation is some type of global governance, and a “new system” for investment and trade covers a lot of topics, including digital currency....

Oh--and then there's this:

...the WEF brotherhood is clearly concerned about losing control of the narrative, as this article from a few days ago highlights:

The world’s biggest problem solvers need to craft better narratives

It argues:

People are more persuaded by the information presented within a narrative because a good narrative helps to ease information processing. Those trying to solve the world’s most pressing challenges must take notice of this.

The whole article is essentially a very long-winded way of saying “we need to tell better lies”.

We must name the real antagonists: irresponsible politicians, bought scientists and some companies failing to live up to the needs of the transition to net-zero....

Maybe Gallagher should be telling better lies?  You know, how to persuade NE Wisconsin residents that they should learn to eat bugs, stop using furnaces, gas stoves, and air conditioning, own nothing, and STFU about borders.

Is that why he's there?
