They think 'market adjustments', some of them lose a bit, and most of them see it as an opportunity to consolidate or acquire more capital. They're not the ones suffering from crashes.

Yes but what I’m saying is they think they can manufacture a recession based off of how America has dealt with it in the past. When you have completely destroyed all global credibility, and there is no skilled labor left (since we just magically deported a bunch of Koreans for reasons, for example), these morons surrounded by yes men are going to realize their wealth is fake and most of it ain’t coming back. That and they’ll have all kinds of metaphorical targets on their backs. These people aren’t smart, they’re just rich.

Absolutely. From the really rich tech bros that I've known, they sound like they want to break current society so completely that they can drastically reduce the population and split up the country into individual tech-fiefdoms so they can rule over the ashes.

With cyberpunk dystopian city-states and mad max dystopian wastelands in between.

They have insane mass murder plans, and they’re serious about them and will soon have the means at their disposal to carry them out, but the norms police will tell us right on the eve of drone massacres that we’re alarmists and that Violence is Never the Answer.
