Every Political Newsletter's Dispatch from Davos
Good morning from DAVOS, where all of the world’s most wealthy and important people have gathered to talk about money and being important.
I’m here in the lobby of the Ramada Inn-Davos, where Jamie Dimon and Will.i.am are collaborating on a Breakfast DJ Set honoring the Metaverse.
I grabbed a Bloody Mary with Kellyanne Conway and Joe Lieberman and asked them what they thought about the debt ceiling, but they were off to play pickleball with the Winkelvoss Twins.
“Nepal is the new Brazil,” Josh Hawley told me. I asked what he meant. “Wokeness,” he said. (Disclosure: This morning’s newsletter is sponsored by Monsanto.)
I’m looking forward to several panels later today.
