In the fable of the goose that lays the golden eggs, the greedy people kill the goose because they want all the gold at once.

The thing that really gets me about •this• moment is that the oligarchs aren’t even doing that. They’re killing the magical goose because they don’t like what color it is, and besides they think it has an uppity attitude.

Yes, there’s the fantasy stories about infinite AI prosperity, but that’s BS and they know it. Once the goose is dead and it turns out there’s no gold inside, once US economic and tech success is just torn scraps and memories, these people are 100% going to say “well at least that damn goose is dead.”
