(1,537 posts)What a pleasant interview with Ken Harbaugh, a former U.S. Navy pilot and nonprofit executive, speaking with Harvard-trained UT Austin bankruptcy law professor A. Mechele Dickerson.
Easy listening, without the hard sell, and an enjoyable video as well.

I'm betting on the latter.

Just wait until Artificial Intelligence is fully engaged and plugged in and the white collar class and professional class are given their pink slips because AI is now doing their jobs.
That is when the shit really hits the fan. Blue collar labor, white collar labor and professional workers are discarded.
The ruling class does not like the middle class because they are not financially strapped living pay check to pay check - often they have some financial reserves. If the ruling class get way out of line and screws people over the idle middle class can raise loud objections and force the ruling class to be more compassionate and reasonable.
The ruling class wants no barriers or impediments to block their way when it comes to achieving their gluttonous, greedy, and selfish goals and agendas.
With the middle class decimated and left to die on the vine the rich can better rule the world.
