This guy is basically saying a lot of people will have to die (starvation) for the good of the ecconomy. When have I heard that before? Seems like there was a plague recently, and they said this very thing then too. What was it again?

I don’t understand, if humans aren’t needed for labor, teaching, or arts, then the humans can’t make money and spend money. And can’t eat. Won’t reproduce.

So who will the billionaires and corporations sell stuff to? Each other?

Will the Epstein class just abuse and eat the humans?

I read a blog that said that this is the reason that some off the 1% are in favor of Universal Basic Income (UBI). If 99% of the workimg class are laid off and given government UBI checks (just enough to stay alive) that they can spend for the things they need,then that is as close to companiws being given government checks just because. After that, it becomes who can build the biggest company to take all of the money.
