There is no conspiracy. It is in our best interest to have the most educated, stable, productive people possible in our society for our collective well being. While at the same time not forcing people to work or study and giving them the ability to make their own choices. It’s a super hard optimization problem that we’re constantly trying to find better solutions to. To think someone is plotting to ‘keep people down’ assumes there’s some super smart god like person out there pulling all the levers and playing 5 dimensional chess. I guarantee you there isn’t.

You just have to be paying attention to politics. There is right now an ongoing political debate about whether we need to lower child poverty (child tax credit) or starve the poor into working. It's in the New York Times, it's on Fox News, it's everywhere. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/13/opinion/stimulus-unemployment-republicans-poverty.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/13/opinion/stimulus-unemploy... https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-news-guest-says-poor-people-are-dogs-need-be-starved-be-kept-obedient https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-news-guest-says-po... The political class determines the level of deprivation of the poor explicitly in order to manipulate productivity and employment.
