In your own context, if everyone is paid less, worked more and then eventually out of a job, there will be no one left to buy stuff from Billionaires. A concept Henry Ford understood really well, but Wall Street doesn’t.
>but Wall Street doesn’t.
Why do they need to, they'll just have the government print more money and give it directly to said billionaires.
Makes you wonder if some kind of underground market would form that ignores billionaires, whether that's a commune or local government establishing a new local currency, that would cause the primary currencies (USD, BTC, etc. to further inflate itself out of existence).
