After reading the article, this isn't a fictional plot. It's a sadly accurate prediction. The article's writer couldn't have proved Aliss's point more. It's tone def, divorced from reality and shows no genuine concern for how this will seriously and negatively affect the majority of people. This is the literal definition of irony which like everything else in this article seems lost with the writer.
