'Let Them Eat Cake,' 2017 Edition
-
One explanation for what happened in the election is in sharp focus this week: While Trump gets inaugurated, the world's richest elite is at the World Economic Forum in Davos and they clearly have no idea how it happened. They truly have zero understanding why people less fortunate than them might be frustrated enough to elect a guy like Trump who at least told them what they longed to hear. Davos has always been a gathering of people disconnected from the real world, but the total cluelessness of the mega-rich there is remarkable in light of the election, and Brexit, too.
