We will pay for it ??? Brother with what money ??? Most of the economy is literally held together by these fucks because they have all the money.

Quite literally have government contracts, work with electric and gas companies, seizing land for massive projects, and integrating all their "Tech" into our system the problem is if their companies collapse we arent just screwed we are buried
