I’m making an effort to avoid buying anything from Amazon.

I was planning on flying to San Diego then buying HCQ in Tijuana if I were concerned about getting sick.

I’m old enough to remember the Twilight Zone; I feel we’ve been living in an episode for a year.

Wealth of the nation's 657 billionaires has increased by $1.3T during the scamdemic

this is the one and only FUCKING reason why we had the scamdemic. It also boggles my mind that most people supposedly on the Left do not see this - namely that scamdemic was one of the most successful wealth transfers from poor to rich ever.

Another article pointing out the same thing:

How many billionaires go to Davos each year?

First result on DDG:

Davos by the Numbers: 119 Billionaires, 309 Private Jets ...

One small nuke there would definitely make the world a better place.

50 new vaccine billionaires.
You think they had motive?

That's way less than I thought. I was going to guess thousands. I suppose that's good. Maybe some of the others ain't woke.

Many of the billionaires are simply lower level management for the less numerous trillionaires who coined them. They can be defrocked of their 'billionaire' status at any time and sacrificed as knights or bishops. Politicians are errand boys who can be easily sacrificed as pawns.

A lot of these billionaires are criminal lieutenants and spies. The moniker 'billionaire' is there because it draws oohs and aahs from the peasants and politicians know that their bribes, gratuities and dirty tricks are funneled through them, and that they are an interface of executive and criminal function for the Globalists and Deep (Shallow) State.

Fucking Epstein was a 'billionaire' and Soros is nothing but a hatchet man for the various intelligence agencies and banks. Robert Maxwell was a 'billionaire'. We know how things went for Maxwell and Epstein.

What billionaires you see at Davos are these crime boss billionaires and their chained whores. Davos is more like a World Mafia Summit for the Globalists. They show up to get marching orders and to ask favors of the Mob bosses.

It is probably less likely that you would see genuine, self made billionaires there, but I imagine there are a few.

There are only about 2,200 billionaires on earth.

I don't think there are any trillionaires. Who would they be?

Patrick says

City of London, Vatican, Royal Family, various Swiss entities, and also some Asian families. The ones who print and control the money and have piled up the assets over the centuries, and have monopolized the major profit centers.

You're not supposed to know much about the trillionaires. A whale that doesn't surface never gets harpooned, yet many of the well known, public functionary billionaires are the sock puppets. The Royal Family are trillionaires, and are out there as figureheads, but that is by necessity. All their squealing about petty amounts of money and tapping into the tax base are show.

Mere billionaires don't have enough money to create the uniform, centrally managed wave of propaganda, insurrection, fraud and takeover that USA has experienced. Billionaires would be lower level money distributors and executives Only the major world money printing presses could keep this shit afloat and operate so many news outlets at nominal losses and keep those idiot soap star talking heads on payroll.

We are at war, and they have pulled out the stops, but I would imagine that the enormous cash flow drain would eventually tax even them to the point that things would relax. The pressures of keeping up all of these psychopathic frauds and lies is enormous. If it doesn't result in complete dominance at some point, it becomes a war of financial attrition, which I think is where it will wind up.

Those may each have more than a trillion dollars, but I was talking about individuals.

If you look at the Walton family siblings together, they are worth about $200B, much more than Jeff Bezos personally.

In theory the Queen owns, oh, Canada. Among other countries. But she can't really sell it and spend it.

Yeah, it's amazeballs how fast some of this tech fuckers got sooo rich. Former pal of mine was whining at me about the Koch bros right before the election. He had no idea one was dead and the other was an anti-Trumper globalist. Worth a mere 120B today.

Oh, well I guess that IS more than Bezos at 180B. Still, I think there's more of them. Do more damage joined at the hip.

Hey, fellow humans! Can you picture something like this at Klaus Schwab's next Davos summit?
After everything that Bill Gates & his WHO have done to India, it's only right that they, and their accomplices, should have their next—and final—summit end like this (only with a lot more animals)

I think Putin may be going after Switzerland. All of this madness emanates from there like a dark star in the center of the galaxy of world evils.

yep , driven by the stock market gains (realized and unrealized)

2000 to 2013 and the stock market (S&P 500) was flat averaging about 2% annual return

2013 to present day and the S&P 500 averaged about 12% annual return (includes dividend)

2023 was too much of a rally and overbought conditions... 2024 likely will not continue the same rally , and the conditions are not the same as 1996-2000

The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for wealth accumulation among the ultra-rich. Billionaires collectively increased their wealth by $3.9 trillion during the pandemic, as reported by Oxfam. By contrast, the World Bank estimates that up to 500 million people were pushed into poverty during the same period, subsisting on less than $5.50 a day. This stark dichotomy was the result of global economic shutdowns that decimated informal labor markets and small businesses while simultaneously inflating the value of assets like stocks and real estate—sectors predominantly controlled by the wealthiest. ...

Ultra-wealthy individuals and corporations capitalised on low-interest rates and quantitative easing (money printing) measures introduced by central banks during the pandemic. These policies inflated asset prices, benefiting those with significant investments in equities, bonds, and real estate. For instance, technology stocks surged during the pandemic as remote work and digital services became essential, further enriching tech billionaires.

The pandemic led to a wave of consolidations, with larger corporations acquiring struggling smaller firms. Industries such as e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and technology saw the most significant centralisation. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Pfizer expanded their market dominance, using their resources to outlast or absorb competitors.

Using one of their own weaponized pathogens against them would be...more fitting?

Individual Saudis are trillionaires for sure. No clue about China, but wouldn't be surprised if Xi is a trillionaire. Who the hell knows what Putin has syphoned off from gas and oil and his long tables.

The thing with most rich people is they have to create something or provide something. Taking shit out of the ground is a big nothing burger in certain regions. Just like it was in Texas. You own the land. That's why Saudis have some of the greatest wealth on the planet. And guess what, they do nothing with it besides spend lavishly. At some point the faucet is tapped out. They'll go to being a 3rd world country in a desert. Might take 200 years, but it will happen.
