I heard recently this summary:

The US economy depends on two things:

  • Steady growth in available jobs
  • The bet on AI eventually pay off and replace all jobs with AI.

I assume it will be something of a German model.

AI replaces jobs.

Unemployed have their assets seized.

Unemployed end up in camps.

Unemployed with skills and/or debt become work slaves. Work slaves die in camp.

Repeat.

Seized assets keep the economy moving until war were declared.

TLDR: you can have lower unemployment if you get rid of unemployed people.

I think the capitalists have found a way to fight climate change. Significantly lower the population.
That would reduce profits significantly, and that’s the only reason they’d be against that.
I think they plan to suggest fucking more but what do I know? They forgot to make dinner.
They would just need a change in revenue streams. War is pretty profitable if you win.
