There is also the matter of the recent talk about a basic living wage for everyone, and a cashless society. These are hoped for means of preventing the population from revolting while we are culled via engineered plagues, wars, and muzz slime terrorism. Those outside the system will be starved. Agenda 21 - ain't it grand?
In the end it will be a high tech civilization of a half billion people modeled on ancient Egypt, ruled by a small class of self anointed godheads, and a vast underclass of artisans and useful idiots - not different than the current democrat party.
Even a basic wage won’t solve the biggest problem, billions of idle hands.
