I’m convinced, at this point, the bourgeoisie is intentionally trying to trigger a non-nuclear mass casualty event (ie famine, disease, mass poverty, etc) to cull the population. They’re building bunkers while sewing the seeds for everyone else’s destruction.
But seriously: never attribute malice where stupidity is a sufficient explanation.

No, the capitalists know they need people. It’s a big worry for them. Companies have to grow, but you can’t grow your market if the number of consumers and workers goes down.
At the same time they know that anything to save people is expensive in short term. And they always choose short term first.

Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel The Ministry for the Future starts with a very similar setting.

Maybe consider seeing a doctor about that.

Yup, first thing I thought of when I read the headline. I really enjoyed that book.
