    Politicians: “homelessness? Just genocide them all, lol!”

    Also politicians: “we need to do everything in our power to raise property values! Muh invoosent must go to the moooooon!”

    They know what they’re doing. They just want as many poor people dead as possible, they unironically want to live in a world with only billionaires.

      but among the billionaires one must rise to the top to become… TRILLIONAIRE, thus relegating the others to mere peasant status

      A world of only billionaires would deprive them of their power. I think it’s more likely that, to keep the beast moving as the carrot withers into nothing, they need to get a scarier stick.

      Nah, we make them money. What they want is a working class that is subservient and afraid to rise up against them.

      They’ve already succeeded in that and now they’re just adding assurances.
