- colpabar 4y agoEasy with the conspiracy theories! We all know the rich and powerful don't ever work together to accomplish things in secret.
- aksss 4y agoEasy with the sarcasm! We all know the readers and posters don’t always handle it gracefully.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoNot really in secret, they do it every year at Davos, Switzerland, but it's not public either.
- yxwvut 4y agoSarcasm aside, there doesn't need to be a conspiracy for a privileged group, acting as individuals, to want to discourage changes that would upset their advantaged position in the status quo (and to use their privileged position to maintain it). They don't need to relish the suffering of others so much as maintain the indifference required to justify their own self-preservation. Virtually every member of the uber-rich buys into the gospel of the benefits of inequality and the necessity of a poor underclass, and votes and lobbies accordingly.
