    Lol you’re not wrong, I wasn’t really talking from the point of view of the socio!/psychopaths at the top, just the general economics that made it possible in a way that didn’t result in strikes and such therefore disrupting their income.

    Thinking back to like the Gilded age with strikes taking place and the military coming in to put it down lol.

    The billionaires don’t give a shit about the living conditions of us peasants, however they benefit from a social safety net existing as they can get away with underpaying workers for longer without fear of rebellion, whether they realize it or not.
