Here’s a little clip for your Friday from AEI’s Arthur Brooks (no relation).
This is a great juxtaposition to this week’s nonsense in Davos, where “decision makers” flew 1,700! private jets to Switzerland to talk about how “we” can reduce our standard of living and combat “climate change”.
WHAT A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES! Despite the fact that the press will label these luminaries “capitalists”, they are actually spoiled rich people with more money than sense. The real solutions and miracles of tomorrow will come from ONLY one place: The FREE MARKET!
UPDATE …
Nice comment from Christian. And excellent appraisal of the Davos crowd by the brilliant Kevin Williamson at National Review: Davos’s Destructive Elites. Gotta love this line…
“Taking an international commercial flight is one of the most carbon-intensive things the typical person does in his life, but if you’re comparing carbon footprints between your average traveler squeezed into coach on American and Davos Man quaffing Pol Roger in his cashmere-carpeted intercontinental air limousine, you’re talking Smurfette vs. Sasquatch.”
Outstanding and concise vid; thanks for sharing. The Davos hypocrisy can be summed up as “economic opportunity for me, but not for thee”.
