Agreed. If you look at what I propose, it is a pretty moronic, utterly selfish and probably unworkable plan. But the rich don’t like any of the alternatives, so they are going to stick with this one. Today’s crop of millionaires and billionaires are always looking for short term gains, rather than long term plans (don’t get me started on that ridiculous new space race, which just one huge ego stoking rich man’s parlour game).

So they would rather gamble on others sorting things out, while they retreat behind their security gates, and apply the only plan they are happy with. Starve the poor, then make everyone else poor. Then starve the poor.

If that plan does indeed fail, they have plan B. Kill the poor.
