Ron Green begs the question. I ask what does “it’s about the future” mean and he says it means “it’s about the future.”

Phantom power says they can buy politicians, which they are already doing, and their kids can be rich, which means they can control their future. Their future, not the future.

Octafish says it means their kids are on top, which is a very limited perception. “The future” is that their kids are on top? What about oceasn, and rivers, and food supplies and global wars and trivia such as that?

Orsino says it’s not about the future because they’ve already done it.

The commonist says they want to kill eight or nine billion people so that the remaining one billion can be servants to the few hundred elite, which is simply silly.

So, let me ask again with a slightly different emphasis. Does anyone have a serious, meaningful answer to the question I posed. What in meant by the statement that the one percent’s accumulation of wealth is “about the future?”

Update: and jwirr adds a reply which makes some real sense; reveals some real thought devoted to the question. Thank you.
