They aren't firing people like nuclear scientists and air traffic controllers to save money. That's a pretty lie that satisfies your unwavering belief that everything is about money.

Because a more vulnerable people will work that much harder to identify who has to suffer for one's own salvation.
A world where everyone is busy figuring out who is more vulnerable than themselves, so to sacrifice those more vulnerable for their own survival, is a supremacist world.
