This guy is basically saying a lot of people will have to die (starvation) for the good of the ecconomy. When have I heard that before? Seems like there was a plague recently, and they said this very thing then too. What was it again?

The top 1% has more wealth than the bottom 90% combined. They don’t need us anymore. They can sustain themselves on just selling to eachother.

How many TVs can they sell to each other? How many cars? How many airline flights and vacations? They may have the money but can never be the market

How many TVs can they sell to each other?

There is no difference to the bottom line of selling 1,000 tvs at $100 and 10 tvs at $10,000.
