Protesters at the elite Swiss conference in Davos found themselves some unlikely allies: millionair­es.

The group, who called themselves “patriotic millionair­es,” joined the protests against inequality and said they believe they should be taxed more.

It’s a real snoozefest. Irish constructi­on bosses are griping they can’t find laborers to train because young people don’t want to get out of bed early enough to work.

Many constructi­on jobs start at 7 a.m., and one exec said he recently got only two applicatio­ns for 35 apprentice­ships that start before the sun rises.

A union rep hit back and said every industry is having trouble finding workers, even with better hours.

California is being invaded by a worm taking its namesake to new heights.

The Asian jumping worm, which has been spotted all over the Golden State this year, can leap a foot high, and state officials said they have “voracious appetites.”

The slimy creatures act more like snakes than worms, the state said, although luckily they don’t bite.

The right side was the wrong side.

A man in Texas is in jail for allegedly walking against traffic on the right side of the road — when he should’ve been on the left, with cars flowing from behind him.

Local reports said the Abilene resident is being held in jail on a $94 bond.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is back to spinning records.

The music-loving pol has resumed his duties hosting a salsa radio show that was put on pause during the 2017 anti-government protests that roiled the politicall­y divided country.

Maduro said he hosts the weekly show, which launched in 2016, because “one must take spaces in life for tranquilit­y and peace, joy, give space to music.” Ben Kesslen, Wires
