It’s pretty simple; stop coddling some peoples figurative identity. Rather than make a social game of merely “seeing” normal humans who are “special” in politically correct traditional terms, end specialness.
Subject Powell, Bezos, and the like to the same material truth as the masses.
Shift the real burden of providing something real to a bunch of non-contributors who stubbornly demand control of our agency so they can sit and engage in meta-analysis.
Make the con men yank on their own boot straps.
Economists and the likes real contribution is a whole of qualifying daily life that will occur regardless of their meta-analysis existing. History will have happened regardless of historians observing and writing books on it. Make people actually support themselves rather than ride on book sales of figurative stature. Such folks tend to use a lot more resources for output of insignificant value to keeping their meat bag alive. Why do they get to live in a bubble? They can grow some potatoes in between book deals.
Why is food, energy, medical care, housing subject to supply and demand?
Why are the lifeblood of the species constrained on demand and flowing freely when they look away?
It certainly is convenient for you to believe the masses have to accept austerity in deference to normal humans who repeat these handy phrases and point to any old phenomena they control, assigning an immutable key-value pair to your memory.
“Gather ‘round, children; it’s time to recite the spoken traditions! Austerity is for the poor. Authority is for the rich.”
We could see this as stochastic terrorism; there’s no need to give the powers that be a free pass when it’s clear their power is built on reciting politically correct “truth” not serving the species and public.
Lucking into wealth does not place someones biology on another plane of cognition, or imbue magical powers of insight.
Edit: rest assured in proper social tradition I am indifferent to the literal state of anyone else. If some avoidable calamity should impact you or I have am in a position to empower myself at your expense, I am all in. Just optimizing for myself, in-line with the politically correct chants; Powell said there will be pain to people, not him of course but others. I’m just following the leader too.
