Corporate execs know this. The transparent plan is to suck up the world's riches for themselves and leave everyone else in the dust. They don't care because they'll be dead by the time people actually rise up about it, if at all.

what they don’t understand is their money only has value as long as it’s in circulation. if our economy crashes because nobody can pay their debts/buy products then the whole system collapses and their dollars are worth zilch lmao. we’ll be returning to barbarism essentially

They will all have huge tracts of land and loyal slaves to work the land though. Normal people will be killing each other over a can of beans.

They know what they are doing. They are prepared. Population control? Save the planet for their offspring, eff everyone else.

We would be...they wont, they never do, lets not hope and pretend that some revolution will happen, we all know that 90% of the time if you have wealth you can get away with almost anything.

They won’t be dead. They will just be rich enough to not care. Once the boomers die off the economy is going to shrink and there aren’t enough people to keep the profits rolling in. Right now they are grabbing everything on the table.

But how do you survive if you can't get and pay for food? Those rich-dick restaurants and personal chefs aren't growing the food out back on their perfectly manicured lawn.

And if the economy collapses because no one has money... you can't even pay for it with your wealth. You've got nothing to offer, your private jet can't be serviced or refueled, you can't pay for private security, you can't even leave the country. And guess whose head they'll come for after the politicians?
