One of the leaders of the World Economic Forum (WEF) has declared that nations with “shrinking populations” are the “big winners” because globalists are pushing to “substitute humans with machines.”

The comments were made by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink during the WEF’s annual summit in Saudi Arabia earlier this week.

Fink also serves on the board of directors at the WEF and is listed as one of the organization’s “agenda contributors.”

As chairman and chief executive of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, Fink has $10 trillion in global assets under management.

During the WEF’s summit in Riyadh, Fink assured attendees that collapsing populations in nations around the world will not be a problem for the global elite.

In fact, Fink gloated that the collapse of civilization would be an advantage for those “big winners” who have  been “substituting humans” with “machines.”

Fink continues by bluntly declaring that the goal of the globalists is the maximum destruction of the planet’s population.

“I can argue that in developed countries, countries with declining populations will benefit,” Fink said during the WEF panel discussion.

“The big winners are those with shrinking populations.

“That’s something that most people never talked about,” he admitted while saying the quiet part out loud.

“You know, we always used to think a shrinking population is a cause for negative growth.

“But in my conversations with the leadership of these large developed countries, which have xenophobic immigration policies – they do not allow anyone to come – and shrinking demographics, these countries will rapidly develop robotics, AI [artificial intelligence], and technology.

“If the promise of all that transforms productivity, which most of us think it will, we will be able to elevate the standard of living of countries and the standard of living of individuals, even with shrinking populations.

“So the paradigm of negative population growth is going to be changing.

“And, the social problems that one will have when substituting humans for machines is going to be far easier in those countries that have declining populations.”
