It’s hilarious when I hear conspiracy theories about the 1% killing off the rest of us.

So I suppose the 1% are going to grow, harvest, transport, package and cook their own food then? Manufacture and maintain their own cars? Build, clean and maintain their own houses? Build and repair the roads, bridges, power lines and other infrastructure? And who is going to buy all the things they sell that made them the 1% in the first place?

It’s ridiculous on its face 😂

If only you knew about robotics and automation.

Robots must have decent bank accounts to replace all the consumers then 😂 @MrBrownstone

@Zaphod42 What do robots need to buy?

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

@MrBrownstone my point exactly. You’re talking about the deliberate self destruction of the very basis of power: capitalism.

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M

@Zaphod42 And you didn’t answer the question.

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

@MrBrownstone I did. You aren’t listening.

@Zaphod42 Let me know when you act mature. Bye bye.

Zaphod42 · 51-55, M

@MrBrownstone Ok, I’ll use small words for your benefit. Robots don’t buy things. With no one buying anything the thing that made the 1% rich falls out from under them taking the power with them. The elite don’t want to lose power, so why on earth would they kill off the very people that make their power possible?

@Zaphod42
The rich can easily get along with only 1 billion slaves: Killing off 7 1/2 billion slaves will not impact them at all. You are a simpleton
