I guess this is how they solve their food shortage after getting so much blowback from trying to force children to replace migrants working in the fields.
Yeah, the only logical way I see to evaluate this, assuming these people are not 100% comprised of totally incompetent, koolaid drinking morons…
Is that they are more or less deciding to formally enact and massively ramp up ‘economic sacrifice zones’.
Its Bob Page from the intro to Deus Ex:
“Why contain it?”
…
The insurance companies are already abadoning much of the US Deep Red South.
There is no real solution to that other than massively tax the wealthy and corporations, do massive government directed work and projects and funding schemes… which they obviously will not do, because that is ideologically antithetical to them.
So, instead:
Criminalize poverty, go back to mass slave labor, and just generally encourage and enable everyone to kill themselves and each other in a kind of laissez faire eugenecist free for all… as you squeeze the last drops out of areas that are basically guaranteed to be Mad Max in decade or two.
Shoring things up would require a lot of investment and not the greatest short term ROI, therefore, by C Suite Capitalist logic, uh, just let that branch of the company wither on the vine… maybe the smarter ones will manage to gather enough resources to escape and go be more productive as some other employee elsewhere.
Oh hey, they could actually solve an additional problem at the same time! Just send all their extra kids to hunt all their invasive species. Lionfish are tasty and I’ll bet bermese python taste like chicken. Sure, not every kid is going to survive the hunt, but now there’s more food for everyone! And remember, killing two birds with one stone (so to speak).

Capitalism is a death cult.
I really despise how accurate this take seems.
So do I, friend, so do I.
truly the american way
