Cousin's plans for world domination can't possibly be worse than the lunacy at Davos. A tyrant who is satisfied with a bit of cheese and an available baseboard is easy to survive. The current lot, not so easy.
Cousin seems to be borrowing from Sir John James Cowperthwaite:
«I asked him to name the one reform that he was most proud of. “I abolished the collection of statistics,” he replied. Sir John believed that statistics are dangerous, because they enable social engineers of all stripes to justify state intervention in the economy.»
If cousin ever achieves world domination, would he be willing to leave other nations alone and instead drone strike the hell out of every telemarketing headquarters on the planet? If he should rise to become a benevolent dictator, hit me up for other ideas that would actually improve the lives of everyone.
It would be three if you had included the Oxford comma. As it stands, it's arguably two.
Fixed. It's three now. :)
Oh, I wasn't criticizing! Was just being a smartass.
I do confess membership on Team Oxford Comma.
What matters is that you were right. :)

Wasn't it by doing the first two that the elites got to dominate the world?
Yes. Protein and fiber. Protein and fiber.
Your posts are like oxygen. I like taking them in.
Fair enough. 🤔
