100,000 Americans LAID OFF: What They're Planning at Davos 2026

The World Economic Forum is meeting in Davos right now. Klaus Schwab is stepping down. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is positioning himself as the new face of global governance. And his stated goal? Getting you to accept “more global control and less national sovereignty.” Meanwhile back in reality: Microsoft’s CEO is begging employees to use Copilot because nobody wants it. OpenAI might burn $14 billion in 2026. Nvidia is about to stop selling graphics cards to consumers. And over 100,000 tech workers have been laid off in the name of “AI efficiency” while those jobs quietly move to India. The bubble is eating itself. The only question is who gets crushed when it pops.
