Klaus Schwab, the founder and long-time chair of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has announced his retirement after 55 years at the helm. Schwab is credited with transforming the WEF into a major global platform for dialogue among political, business, and civil society leaders. The WEF board, which includes prominent figures like Al Gore and Queen Rania, acknowledged his significant contributions. His departure has sparked reactions worldwide, including celebration from some political groups. The leadership transition marks the end of an era for the influential Davos Summit.

Well, good riddance, honestly. Klaus Schwab and the WEF have always felt like the poster children for unelected elites trying to micromanage the world from their ivory tower in Davos. It's wild how much influence these global forums have over national policy, all without a shred of real accountability to regular people. Hopefully, with Schwab gone, there’s a chance for less top-down meddling in our lives and more respect for individual freedom and local decision-making. But let’s not get our hopes up—the new leadership will probably be cut from the same cloth.

World Economic Forum founder steps down from chairmanship
Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), also known as Davos Summit, stepped down from the chairmanship and his position on the board of the WEF, the forum said on Monday.
Good riddance—Schwab and his WEF cronies have pushed globalist agendas that hurt working people for way too long. Maybe with him finally gone, there’s hope for less elite meddling in our countries’ affairs.
