World Economic Forum: Ditch Your Car and Save the Planet

Simon Kent 22 Jul 2022

Is your car really necessary? The World Economic Forum (WEF) doesn’t think so.

It has published a paper that calls for an end to “wasteful” private car ownership in favor of communal sharing to lessen global demands for precious metals and fossil fuels.

The unelected elites in Geneva, Switzerland, argue too many people own private vehicles for the planet’s good. Most are barely driven and a universal model that will take consumers “from owning to using” their cars is the way forward.

“The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time,” the WEF paper sets out. Instead of having vehicles sit idle, sell your car and walk or share because “Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.”

Sell your jet and fly commercial, hypocrites!

They're behind the curve - simple market economics has already put this into practice in places where it makes economic sense - mostly dense cities.  There are services like zipcar and revel - and the traditional car rental agencies - where one can get access to a car on an as-needed basis without having to own one - but only if it makes economic sense.

So, they really don't have anything new or fresh to bring to the table, other than their inevitable fascism because, sooner or later, they will insist that governments confiscate private cars and make them communal property.

... only if they ditch theirs fist.

The rich will exempt themselves or they'll contract a car service, thus having use of a car without actually owning one.

When the SHTF, I think the WEF would be a good first stop shop for Tribunals.

Bingo!

Bicycles and rowboats would emit far less CO2. That's if they're really serious. But I somehow doubt they'll even start flying commercial.

Come and get it.

Idiots have no idea about anything outside of their fetid cities.

I don't see those rich bastids giving away their entire fortunes to the Blessed Sisters of Charity.

What is the wasteful carbon-footprint of the World Economic Forum?  Dissolving the World Economic Forum would help the Earth's climate by eliminating their wasteful carbon footprint.

That's what it's been about since the beginning. They're not even trying to conceal it any more.

It's an essential part of "the Great Reset" -- eliminate private car ownership, and at the same time force people to congregate mostly in cities.

Dear World Economic Forum - "Kiss My Grits"!

It takes me 20-25 minutes to go from my home to my place of employment, door to door. IF I could cobble together some combination of walking to/from bus stops and, probably, two or more buses, it would, at best double my commute time, and more likely triple or quadruple it. The WEF have my invitation to self-fornicate, in cluster or individually.

So you're saying the WEF CF's should get together and have a CF? Where would they find the time when they are so busy CF'ing all of us?
