The 2021 World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland with kick off in less than two weeks.
Mission: The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
Global tamperers have facial recognition on their list for 2021. The forum released a whitepaper on that topic in December.
Facial recognition technology (FRT) creates many socially beneficial uses, mostly through enhanced authentication and identification processes, such as unlocking a smartphone, boarding a plane and accessing online public services. But it has also come under increasing scrutiny for potentially undermining privacy, misidentifying people, perpetuating systemic racism and contributing to surveillance infrastructure.
The Forum identified income inequality as a concern in 2015. Global tamperers include legions of private equity underwriters (PEU). The greed and leverage boys prioritize increased interest expense and massive gains on their initial equity investment over employee wages and benefits.
After raising the issue of income inequality who got a tax break from the Trump administration? Policy making billionaires, the same billionaires who conduct deals at the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.
Consider the WEF's 2015 warning if income inequality persists:
The inherent dangers of neglecting inequality are obvious. People, especially young people, excluded from the mainstream end up feeling disenfranchised and become easy fodder of conflict. This, in turn, reduces the sustainability of economic growth, weakens social cohesion and security, encourages inequitable access to and use of global commons, undermines our democracies, and cripples our hopes for sustainable development and peaceful societies.
Income inequality grew worse from 2014 to 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the divide between the rich and poor.
The United States just experienced an uprising from people feeling disenfranchised from persistent lies by President Trump and his allies. I can't help wonder how many felt abandoned by political, business, cultural and other leaders of society prior to their manipulation.
