The Billionaire Class has descended on Davos, Switzerland once again, which means that the masturbatory drooling over all things corporate crony capitalism is now in full swing. Sit back and watch, as the upper crust of business, politics, and media gather together at the World Economic Forum to pontificate on all the new and innovative ways they plan to squeeze every last drop of money and value out of you and your neighbors.

Without a shadow of a doubt the Davos crowd is aiming to be the Masters of the Universe, or at least, of our collective universe. Tragically, however, the 1980’s toy line actually had more imagination and cleverness than this band of soulless suits could ever hope to muster. He-Man was able to fight exotic enemies, like Trap Jaw and Stinkor. We are stuck with folks like Lawrence Fink of BlackRock, Moderna’s own Stéphane Bancel and Sally Buzzbee from the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post. A bevy of greed addicts and corporate stooges who will gladly destroy our future, so they can rape and pillage our bank accounts today.
