    And finally, when they employ zero people, and no one has any money to buy their product they will have finally hit infinite profits. Seriously though it doesn’t look like we’re doing UBI any time soon and I doubt the ultra rich would kill off everyone on purpose because half the point seems to be to have people they can feel superior too. Are we just going to wipe ourselves out in a weird paperclip maximizer scenario where we pile up a ton of shit no one can actually buy but has to keep being made to make a line go up?

      Unless we rise up and stop the people in charge, yes. Their end goal is having everything belong to them. Nothing else matters to these people.
