It's like a reset, ....but great.
@LowmanproblemsIt's like a reset, ....but great.
That’s maybe so. But I’m not seeing proof for that statement in this threadMost communists have no idea what communism entails either.
That's the point of my post, above.It's the world economic forum. Nothing will be implemented. It's a toothless talking head.
I believe @TheGreatA is the authority on the word "Great".@Lowmanproblems
Can we get a ruling as to this particular use of "great". Yay or nay?
Been a while metalsalami. Hope all is good in your world.
The great reset real world people are talking about in the given context is totally different from the widely disseminated misstatement of the term coopted into a CT for the right-wing-loony-extremist to latch onto and blow up into the Next Big Threat to white America.

What is the Great Reset - and how did it get hijacked by conspiracy theories?
"A vague set of proposals from an influential organisation has been transformed by online conspiracy theorists into a powerful viral rallying cry. What is the truth behind the "Great Reset"?
Believers spin dark tales about an authoritarian socialist world government run by powerful capitalists and politicians - a secret cabal that is broadcasting its plan around the world.
Despite all the contradictions in the last sentence, thousands online have latched on to this latest reimagining of an old conspiracy theory - updated for the age of Covid."
I've seen a lot of people use the Great Reset hashtag to explain some sort of totalitarian global government that's on the horizon a lot on here and on Twitter.
I've also been told they were openly talking about taking the steps they were going to take.
I've since looked at the open information on the World Economic Forum's site linked below
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/
I can't see anything on there that seems related to what people talk about on here. I've started to watch a couple of vidoes and will watch more but from what I've watched so far the president of Colombia wants to increase availability of technology to poor people and allow poor farmers to broker direct deals and cut out the middleman and make virtual doctors available to people in poor areas who struggle to get access to medicine.
What's negative about that?
That's not what digital ID legislation in Australia is. It's just optional 2FA identity verification used to access online government services like welfare, tax returns and medicare, and centrally links all the data from those sources in a combined database.
There are no biometrics involved, there are no financial transactions recorded aside from the payments they make through those services.
If it's expanded, it'll be for use as online identity certification for use in the private sector.
The ancillary legislation is mostly about the creation and compliance with Australian data regulation for the storage and access to personal data. For instance tightening up on data sovereignty, making it illegal to offshore the data hosting or share the data with international companies. Hosting compliance and regulation, incident reporting etc.
Of course there's debate over whether such information should be centralised at all, but proposed alternatives like putting it on an encrypted blockchain are dubious.
People in Australia will be fine, so long as they do exactly what the state tells them to.
There a new nothing negative at all. They are just a friendly group of helpful people who are going to make the world a better place for everyone, there is nothing socialist or utopian about it at all, and it is best if we just let them get on with it, as it is for the public good.
This is a pretty good real ELI5, only 15 mins.
Like I'm 5 years old, please. 2 sentences max, small words. Ain't nobody gonna watch a 15 min YT video.
I wonder what percent of these reset goofs are also Trump supporters.
