so that billionaires can purchase whatever they want at a steep discount.

The stock market has already wiped out trillions and 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10%.

The 0.01% will always do well. They have enough money they will literally always win in capitalism.

But they've syphoned almost all they can from the bottom 90%. That 10% waking up and siding with the 90% is historically what it takes to overthrow the 0.01%.

This is going exactly as planned.

That doesn't mean it will end well.

The 0.01% are like a gambler who went double or nothing 100x in a row and never lost, and now thinks losing is impossible. Eventually they lose it all or the casino boss decides they're not gonna cash out their chips and whacks a guy in alley. Even if they don't lose a game, they ain't walking away with all of a casino's money.
