My opinion is these people are correct about many of the problems but the solutions are where they are dishonest. They are calling for draconian control measures by the "few" (elites) of "many" (masses). They are calling for dishonest solutions based upon tech and development which is just more of the same that is destroying the planet. What this means for the common man is loss of rights and affluence to a group who will use this transformation of rights and property to ensure they lose far less. The planet is not going to be saved by humans especially not be these self-serving elites. It can be adapted to and problems mitigated but not with the status quo nor the 'great reset". The ship is sinking and these elites want the best lifeboat to prolong their survival. They are going down too but on our backs. I am reading a very good book on it currently:
"The Great Awakening: New Modes of Life amidst Capitalist Ruins"
I highly recommend this book for a taste of the ideas they are proposing.
“Great Reset’ of Capitalism a Threat to Our Way of Life: Australian Senator”
https://www.theepochtimes.com/great-res ... 73950.htmlWhat is the ‘Great Reset’? In his op-ed, Justin Haskins wrote that global leaders, including Prince Charles, met at a virtual meeting held in June to call for a Great Reset of capitalism. Haskins said that many of those at the meeting support the elimination of the world’s current capitalist system and have promoted socialist policies—such as wealth taxes, Green New Deal-like programs, and national job guarantees and government incomes. “Among those who spoke at the event or expressed their support separately for the plan were Ma Jun, the chairman of the Green Finance Committee at the China Society for Finance and Banking and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People’s Bank of China; António Guterres, the secretary-general of the United Nations; powerful union leaders; activists from groups such as Greenpeace International; CEOs and presidents of large corporations such as BP, MasterCard, and Microsoft; and officials from the International Monetary Fund. “But the person who has most clearly articulated the vision of the Great Reset is Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum and one of the Reset’s most ardent supporters,” Haskins wrote. “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed,” Schwab wrote in an article published on WEF’s website. “In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” Schwab also said that “all aspects of our societies and economies” must be “revamped,” “from education to social contracts and working conditions.” Haskins wrote that as terrifying as this might sound the worst was yet to come. At the June event, the WEF announced that the Great Reset agenda would be the focus of its next annual event in Davos, scheduled for January 2021. “At the Davos meeting, powerful business leaders, government officials, activists, and academics will promote the Great Reset and coordinate a massive worldwide campaign to promote their agenda,” Haskins wrote. For Haskins, the Great Reset agenda is a “dangerous moment for freedom, both in the United States and across the planet.” “Not only has government used the COVID-19 pandemic to increase its power, world leaders are now planning to expand it dramatically in the years to come through their Great Reset reforms,” he wrote. “If we don’t stop this radical move toward collectivism and the decimation of capitalism, the world’s freedom movement might never recover.”
