At the 12 minute mark, you made a mistake by making it seem that "The Great Reset" theme was in response to COVID 19. The Great Reset theme was in June 2019. Months before the pandemic even started in China. Maybe it was a coincidence.

Interesting, since most publication and fact checkers mentioned June 2020 rather than a year earlier, with 2019 theme being Globalization 4.0. Apart from 2010 book with the same title, I can't find any source to back up that claim. Got any source on your own?

Karl Schwab is of that generation that was enamored with the ideas of Communism but got their faces smashed in by the reality of Capitalism and its massive success in the 80-90s and the middle class it created in the US and Europe. Now they think, "Communism was not wrong, it just needed a Free Market!" So now all the solution they propose are the equivalent of "The State, with Free Market! And with me at the helm too because I'm a Good Person 😊(tm), and with someone like me Communism would have worked!" When you have so much money, created through finance rather than productivity, you no longer actually care about money. What matters more is the influence it can buy you, and the only way to wield that influence without seeing yourself as a villain is to use it to be some sort of benevolent dictator.

They want to maintain the status quo while also accelerating it by taking more powers and roles from government(which are at least nominally beholden to the general citizenry) and replacing them with corporations and NGOs. My favorite bit is how they they use language to try and manipulate the failings of the capitalist dystopia with the idea that they're all brought on by "shareholder capitalism" (actually them) which they spin as a some kind of *recent* development. Their solution is what they call "stakeholder capitalism" (which will also be actually them) . The whole point of the idea is not actually changing anything except further expanding the roles of corporations and NGOs, who happen to be the primary "stakeholders" in this arrangement as per their own fine print. It's nightmare fuel neo-fascist stuff. Anyone who shills for them or takes their money should be disregarded and opposed.

[@Gnomezonbacon]

A lot of that depends on your scale and needs. If you're a young, small fresh business then you probably don't want to buy land for your company. Once you reach a certain scale and feel secure and established then you want to own the land your facilities are on.
