Money Will Fix Everything

 
Once again, we find ourselves in a quandary.  To better describe our situation, I found several words that could be more appropriate than others.

 

Neurotic, worrywart, and anxious, are the top three words I located on the interweb that could describe where many Earthlings mentally reside.

 

Then there’s “Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD),” that is, according to website ‘heretohelp.bc.ca’ describing GAD as “a mental illness.  It belongs to a group of illnesses called anxiety disorders.”  It is also called hypochondriasis, if you really want to sound smart.

 

I’m not trying to label anyone for any reason, although today’s essay involves world bullies punishing everyone else because – well, they can. Legally.  For decades, the people who use the word hypochondriasis have also been telling the rest of us dolts we aren’t smart enough to realize we’ll all be dead within a matter of mere months.

 

Way back in the early 1970’s, smart scientists promised we lesser humans would freeze or starve to death if the already icing Earth was not able warm up, and pronto.

 

When that arbitrary deadline came and went, the climate prognostication changed to a heating planet Earth that would require asbestos sandals, as well as portable fans to prevent us from turning into ashen mounds on the street, awaiting the next gust of wind.

 

Normally reserved for the annual almanacs sold through farm stores and other book vendors, the aforementioned climate guesses grew like weeds among those smart people looking for a noble cause – saving the planet.

 

But by this time, the federal guvment became fully involved in this grift by offering money to anyone and everyone talking about our certain demise because of normal climate cycles we’ve experienced countless times before; El Niño and La Niña are two of those cycles.

 

Not using the term “opportunist,” I noticed that professional deadbeat and former Secretary of State, John Kerry, aka: Ol’ Boltneck, who closely resembles Frankenstein’s monster, was tapped to be another Biden sycophant as the first United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.  Wow!

As such, Ol’ Boltneck’s job is to flit about the world chastising and finger wagging his crooked little finger at us peons.  Those admonishments are over us unskilled, undeserving Americans wanting things like cars, heat, food, and freedom.  How silly.

 

During his recent trip to Davos, Switzerland, to attend a meeting of the World Economic Forum 2023, a gathering of the super rich and uber anointed  wanting to control even more of the world than they do now.

 

According to the Wall Street Journal, “Geopolitical rivalry, technology decoupling and protectionism have increasingly altered the world’s business and political landscape, adding new risks and threats and, for some, opportunity, say executives and officials meeting the week at the World Economic Forum.”

 

In other words, the Davos 2023 attendees needed to purchase more endangered species alligator luggage to haul their lucrative financial takes back to their respective kingdoms.

 

That’s awfully fortunate for them to be able to mimic Ol’ Boltneck in berating lesser residents of the Earth on behalf of the elite representing the World Economic Forum, in Switzerland.

 

I need to reiterate this soiree is being held in Switzerland because travel to and fro makes walking, driving, swimming, and horseback riding to reach Switzerland, virtually out of the question.  The truly unfortunate part is that most participants were forced to use jets – private jets – to gad about the smog-filled skies – adding even more pollution.

 

This effort was another annual attempt to figure out how to prevent the non-participants from using anything but censored social media to communicate about the questionable state of our planet.

 

Now is the time to think waaaaay back to 2019.  In early 2019, the world was forced to deal with something you may have heard of called COVID.  People were forced to work, and kids were forced to attend school, on-line via computers.  It was deemed ‘good enough’ for the common folk.

 

After all these years into the future since 2019, the elites were thought to be far above and beyond sitting at their home kitchen table talking to a computer.  And so, they traveled to Switzerland to decide what strict measures were needed to be imposed on the rest of society.

 

Not to be left out, renowned environmental scientists Bill Gates of Microsoft fame, as well as genius and credentialed climate researcher Leonardo DiCaprio, found time in their science-packed schedules to use their own private jets to be part of this planet-saving gathering.

 

And it worked!

 

No, sadly there’s not a solution upon which anyone could agree to save Mother Earth, but absolutely brilliant ideas were offered.

 

Electric vehicles, solar panels, and windmills were all offered as viable solutions to the most dire problems with our planet.  Let us not forget Bill Gates’ ardent desire to eliminate much of the world’s population.  Yea!

 

Of course not every solution was realized to be 100% viable.  Sitting in darkness and cold because of uncharged storage batteries would have been discussed if there was time betwixt the French wine samples and lightly sautéed sea scallops.

 

But the gist was there, as was the hot air.

 

Feasting on dried bugs and mealworms as a sustainable means of sustenance was discussed, although not experienced.

 

Unfortunately, residents from third and fourth world countries, whose regular meals are chock full o’ bugs, snails, and leaves were not in attendance to offer harvesting and seasoning advice.

 

And the cooking challenge was not addressed, either.  You see, since air pollution is at crisis levels, using anything but small sticks for cooking their meals outdoors was the obvious choice.

 

Not to worry.  Eliminating meat – any kind of meat – is first and foremost on any thinking person’s agenda.  Methane, you know.

 

How to ultimately fix these issues?  Money.  Lots of money.  It seems as though money cures everything except being a first class boor.

 

Tax cows, tax oil, tax miles driven, tax electricity use, tax food, tax electric vehicles, are all terrific ideas.  But then, where will the money come from?  Tax the oil producers, tax farmers, tax vehicle manufacturers, tax electric companies.  Do you see a pattern here?

 

Those are the results of the great minds of Davos 2023.  If only they could effectively use them for something other than their narcissism.  Nah.  Tax them into poverty and submission.  However, not once was outlawing private jets.

 

Hypochondriasis, at its finest.
