Trump's short-sighted, knee-jerk policies not only won't work, they will hurt the global economy.

An economy that the 1% is highly invested in, and defensive of.

So imagine a part of the 1% who heard our cries, and wanted to use their power and money for global good? To fund clean technologies in direct contravention of Trump's smog-loving policies?

What if this group of 1%-ers was already meeting, talking about these very issues, and what they could do to help the plight of the masses?

This is a very long read that digs deep into the trends we face today, and how these movers and shakers are looking for ways to make life better for everyone.

Example: Autonomous cars will decrease the number of automobiles on the road. That will close car factories and put people out of work making cars. What path can be plotted that understands this change, and provides a way to downsize auto manufacturing capacity, while providing a good future for the people who used to make cars?

The 1% are not all rapacious money-grubbers who have no feelings and just want to watch it all burn. There are people who want to do good with their power and money, and are having honest conversations about what that looks like, now and in the future.

Take the time to actually read this article, and think about it. How do we support these people? How do we enable them in their big, audacious goals to make life better for everyone, not just the 1%-ers?

It is an interesting and worthy question that we need to ask now, because we have some vicious battles coming up, and having some of the 1% on our side is definitely going to help.
