When there are no more consumers to buy their products because everything is automated you no longer have value to the elite because you will no longer be the foundation of their 'success'. The foundation of all of their wealth is you. When AI takes over all the jobs - you're expendable.
When the machines do the labor and the people can no longer afford to buy what the machines produce, the elites won’t see you as citizens, workers, or human beings.
They’ll see you as excess inventory.
Because the foundation of their wealth has always been you: your labor, your wages, your debt, your rent, your consumption, your survival.
Once AI takes your job, your paycheck, and your purchasing power, you stop being useful to their greed.
And in their world, the moment you are no longer profitable, you become disposable.
