I don’t know if I agree with all of that - there are lots of very wealthy people who don’t think that way.
What puzzles me is that the ones who do don’t seem to realize that if they hobble and destroy the middle and working classes, there will be nobody to support their luxuries.
Control freaks don’t think logically. All they want is control, even if they screw themselves in the process.
While not every millionaire or billionaire supports the agenda, all of the ones that do support the agenda or millionaires and billionaires.
To answer your question, I have two answers.
1. They think they can still enjoy a billionaire lifestyle while driving the rest of us into feudal poverty because we will still be generating enough economic activity to allow for this. Billionaires don’t mind dropping to become millionaires, if the rest of us drop to nothing.
2. They are being stupid, because you are correct. Once we are destroyed, they will be easy to destroy themselves. They just don’t think it will happen to them.
These simpleton who think that their pixie dust dreams are stronger than the market. The unfortunate thing is that they’ll continue to use state power to enforce their dreams, the market notwithstanding. All the while dialing to improve the grid to support their state-enforced green conversion. Recipe for economic disaster
