Really. There needs to be fear engrained into these oligarchs. They need to fear the working man for good reason. All I takes is one person with a lighter to ruin his world.

Do it then!

Oh now you understand why we're in a place we are in.

The day is coming. More and more people are becoming desperate, and that desperation is going to increase.

Before Covid, I was already writing about the coming Robotics/ Automation boom, and that was before anyone really heard of AI, and everyone called me foolish for believing that automation would replace significant numbers of jobs.

Today we are reading article after article predicting a coming permanent unemployed underclass of people without the high level skills required to compete in the workforce. Nearly all lower level jobs down by middle- and working-class people will be replaced.

These people have fed at the trough of Trickle Down Economics long enough, and it's killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If they don't pivot to some form of Trickle UP Economics, we will spontaneously pivot to Robin Hood Economics, and the Sociopathic Oligarchs won't like that at all, because it usually comes accompanied by guillotines, firing squads, and nooses - if they're lucky.
