"You Can Have Davos, I'll Take Mississippi"
So says Forbes Publisher Rich Karlgaard, who used the attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The WEF, where CEOs jostle to speak on the same panel as Bono or Angelina Jolie and speak on 80,000 feet topics which have nothing to do with their shareholders, is going on at the moment.
Meanwhile, Rich is in Mississippi, happy to be in the real world. In a great post, he’s learned that Chinese food wholesalers pay 50 cents a pound for chicken feet and only 30 cents a pound for drumsticks. Makes sense to me—-I don’t recall ever being served a drumstick in China, but I’ve seen a whole hen house full of chicken feet. Then again, I’ve never eaten in a KFC in China.
By the way, if Mississippians know what wholesale chicken prices in China are, it must mean that more than a handful of them owe their jobs to trade with China, eh?
