I don't see the end result hoped for by billionaires. We have the following:
They want us to make more kids.
They want to replace us with robots, taking our jobs, because we want to unionize and demand things like time off and money.
They're building bunkers and buying islands to protect themselves from us, because they see what's coming.
They seem to expect that robots will, what? Repair themselves, and self replicate, freeing them from any human contact outside of uneducated slave labor (AKA sex slaves).
Is the plan for us all to die while they live forever being cared for by robots?
Is the plan to enslave us with robots, and pay a few engineers to be loyal with access to immortality drugs?
If the plan is to enslave us, then why do they need robots? Or, is the whole robot thing just a ruse until the real plan is revealed? They know the robots won't work, they're just buying time with the distraction.
tbh putting billionaires in bunkers, sounds to me like they want to be buried alive
we can block their access to water, food and outside communication, if they're down in such a thing
if the world is "out to get" the billionaires, a bunker wont help
Literally just pave over their bunker entrances and what are they gonna do?
Yes, it's called Atlas Shrugged.
