Exactly what you would expect from a criminal govt. whose every move is to destroy the country. Keeping that in mind makes everthing else look semi-logical. We are in their way and they want us gone,bottom line.
I fear robotics in conjunction with AI will make the vast majority of us obsolete. (They are still going to need technicians, at least for a time.) The folks who run the world saw this years ago and have set events in motion to eliminate the "surplus." (This is their utilitarian "morality.")
Also, the transhumanists believe they will no longer die as "life" will soon be extended indefinitely through the merging of man and machine. This "immortality" isn't for everyone. (Not that I want their vision of it.) Yuval Harari is not the final antichrist. He may be its false prophet.
I suspect they have set a minimum net worth (modern-day Darwinian "fitness") that guarantees a place in this future paradise where no one dies, every need will be met, and no one will lack.
For me, this helps to explain at least partly why utterly unexceptional human beings enter politics and then amass staggering fortunes through outright theft. They have to make that cut-off.
