The plan is for most of the lower classes to die out when were no longer needed for labor. They will likely allow this to happen slowly via starvation.

This, it's the endgame for the heritage foundation, tech bros and billionaires, Peter Tile and Elon Musk have specifically been on record talking about their disdain for the middle class and especially the poor and the way Republicans have handled economic issues are speed running not just us bu thte rest of the world to become places like North Korea where everything from the moment you are born to the moment you die is for the sake of a rich man, actually scratch that, they have a lot of contempt for the military as well so they don't even want their enforcers that keep them in power to be happy they just want it for themselves.

Ties in with demographic fallout, the economy as a whole becomes smaller and smaller. This gets even worse with liberalism basically needing the extra money sloshing around from capitalism to fund its social programs. The super wealthy only get to keep shoring up their power till the next time people actually realize the stock market is in a massive bubble and the emperor has no clothes, at which point they lose the foundation of their power. Day to day things change but we personally I think we are going to slow our progress and become a slowly more rural society again, at least more evenly based.

Dunno.

It's not like anyone has a plan. We just lurch from one crisis to the next, and any attempt to engineer stability lasts only until the next disaster.

The bigger issue is people that currently have jobs suddenly unable to afford bare minimum living that was affordable a couple years ago. Jobs love to claim inflation is 3% for raises while prices actually go up over 20%.

The same thing we are already seeing. More homeless, more tent cities.

And we'll see the same thing, rather than provide opportunity or a safety net we'll criminalization of the homeless.

We're going to see vagrancy laws come back in a very real way and entire populations of "criminals" will be bused away by ICE and sold into slave labor in foreign countries.

Whats wild is that both of these scenarios might also lead to the return of the mafia or more criminal organizations

The future might be like in the Alien franchise. With corporations running things instead of nations. Normal people will be used as slaves or poorly paid workers in mines on asteroids, moons and other planets
