    I just honestly cannot comprehend what the end game is at this point… like, how does this even benefit anyone at all?

        I just can’t see how an incompetent (and thereby less productive) populace benefits the oligarchs, other than the whole thing about wanting people to be easier to manipulate.

        I mean, if the country has fewer competent people, businesses relying on competence will eventually start hurting. That obviously includes these people’s companies, which are the source of their all-important wealth.

          My guess is because we’re at the capitalism end game. Wealth inequality is to high, to have a functioning capitalistic society money needs to flow, and its not.

          So now they want to extract the last amount of wealth before everything falls apart in the hope of owning whatever arises from the ashes.
