    Ok but this statement would refer to the 0.01% not the 10%

    They don’t just want more people. They want more people born into poverty and incable of understanding it’s better to wait and pay in cash than use credit and pay interest.

    So the .01% are the ones you’re saying that are planning decades ahead. I don’t think that’s true, they don’t have some sort of master plan for society.

    I think we’ve entered the era of the rich running out of good exploits for the peasants, so we’re seeing them self-cannibalize each other. All of our current economy has moved beyond screwing over workers and customers and is now based on the .01% screwing over the 10% that they pretended was part of their class for awhile.

    They only have the most half hearted approach to what comes after that process is complete. They might build a dumb bunker or cosplay at being a post apocalypse warlord, but their ‘plans’ aren’t much beyond a tabletop game roleplay.

      We are seeing them self-cannibalize, otherwise known as the 0.01% consolidating it’s power.
