World Economic Forum is calling for the end of car ownership

Klaus Schwab's mania continues as he seeks to encourage governments to put into place policies that end private car ownership

As we are all aware, the World Economic Forum has decreed that by 2030, you will own nothing and be happy. It seems they want to make a big leap very soon that will phase out car ownership by issuing an edict from on-high for world governments to phase out car ownership for private citizens.

In a paper published a week ago, the WEF has said that private car ownership should be phased out in favor of sharing vehicles. As they put it, "More sharing can reduce ownership of idle equipment and thus, material usage." This would require the global economy to operate as a 'circular economy'.

A circular economy would have two main aspects: The biological cycle, and the technical cycle. The biological cycle is pretty self-explanatory, this includes anything such as food or biodegradable materials such as wood and clothing fibers, that sort of thing. No need for them to try and reclaim your toilet paper, although that would be funny. No, it can biodegrade and return to the soil.

The technical cycle is where things get shady. Anything you own right now that is made of non-biodegradable materials such as metals, plastics, polymers, etc. will no longer belong to you.

Look around your house and you'll find most of the things in it fall under this category. As well as your car. That's right, in a circular economy, you are not allowed to own these things. You will be compelled to share with your neighbor, and in the event that those objects containing the non-biodegradable material are not used? They're reclaimed and recycled into the production arm of this side of the economy.

Your old cell phone laying around? Klaus Schwab wants it back. As the WEF says, "Be honest, you likely have at least one old mobile phone tucked in the bottom of a drawer. Possibly an unused hard drive taking up space, too. You aren't alone." Even your work equipment is a problem for them. They state that 39% of workers globally have employer-provided laptops and mobile phones. A few more pieces of rare earth materials that Klaus wants back.

That car you were going to sell or trade in? That's going back to the factories as new materials and you will not be getting compensated for it. Instead, you will either use public transportation or be forced to share a vehicle with your neighbors. Communal vehicle usage will be the only thing that resembles car ownership, and it won't just be yours. That's the WEF's edict.

They claim that "The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time."

Sell your car and walk, bigot. Or use a vehicle-sharing app. If you don't like it then you hate black people, probably.

Right now, WEF cronies would describe our economy as linear. Anything that the consumer pays for, they own. What happens to it after that is entirely up to the consumer. The problem is that consumers tend to like to keep what they pay for, potentially resulting in some amassing massive amounts of property and possessions that is strictly slated for their own private use. No one else has a claim to it because it's owned by that private consumer. Recycling in the system we have now is largely voluntary and private ownership is legally protected.

So in order to get to a point where you own nothing, they literally want to reclaim the materials by taking your vehicles away from you. Of course, any cars that do exist would need to be electric, because they're so much better for the environment. Nevermind the fact that the electricity to power electric vehicles comes primarily from fossil fuel power plants.

Imagine a world where you subscribe to everything, and are charged a monthly fee for essentials that allow you to live your life comfortably. Add to that an increasing push for a cashless society that will undoubtedly be attached to a social credit score that determines whether you even have the right to buy and sell at all, and you've got the starting criteria for the dystopian society Klaus Schwab dreams of.

The WEF wants us to go from owning things to merely 'using' them. Everything we need and use will be a constant vampiric drain on any wealth you might be allowed to amass.

I spotted this a while back at the car dealership my vehicle came from. They have a program where you never own a car, you just rent one for comparable payments and after a while you trade it in and the cycle repeats. Subscription car ownership with no end. Does that sound ideal? Not to me.

Subscription services for everything are the way the economy is going, sadly. I don't know why you'd actually want all aspects of life to resemble a cable subscription, but apparently some people want to be billed for things they're not actually using very often. They must or there wouldn't be a meteoric rise in everything coming with a monthly bill.

I should get out ahead on the subscription toilet service, you can pay a flat fee or pay by the turd. That'll be my next business venture.
