"In other words, nobody is buying their insects. Looks like people are REJECTING the WEF agenda." That sentence jumped out at me & put me in mind of a very interesting book, "Originals: How Non-Conformists Move The World" by Adam Grant (2016). There is a chapter about the Segway & why it failed. Steve Jobs was rapturous about it.

"Steve Jobs called it the most amazing piece of technology since the personal computer. Enamored with the prototype, Jobs offered the inventor $63 million for 10% of the company. [...] the inventor turned it down..."
"The first time Steve Jobs stepped on a Segway, he refused to climb off... [...] Jobs "thought the machine was as original & enthralling as the PC, and felt he HAD to be involved."
"Steve Jobs was famous for making big bets based on intuition rather than systematic analysis. [...] Three major forces left him overconfident about the Segway's potential: domain inexperience, hubris & enthusiasm."
"... Jobs was enamored with the possibility that the next breakthrough innovation would be in transportation. The Segway was an engineering marvel & riding it was a thrill." [...] "But products don't create value. Customers do."
The connection that "people are rejecting the WEF" & the Segway/Jobs story is that just because there MAY be a good idea & all your cohorts are agreeing with you, doesn't mean that its going to 'play in Peoria'. Schwab & his cronies didn't seem to take into account that 'we, the little people' wouldn't go along with his & the WEF's plan.
"For the want of a nail the shoe was lost". I'd like to think that something that simplistic would be the downfall of the WEF. (Sigh)
