Richard Branson lives like a refugee

Where were you Jan. 30? If you were British tycoon Richard Branson, you spent part of the day at the refugee camp in Davos. Or, to be more exact, the Refugee Run, a simulation mocked by my colleague Josh Keating and aid skeptic Bill Easterly last week. The photos are in:

However absurd it is, kudos
However absurd it is, kudos to him for at least trying it.
Wow
Worse than I thought.
I didn't think I could love Branson any more
Turns out I can. I wonder if they made him drink his "Virgin Cola" or "Virgin Biofuel". Just a thought.
