The world is on fire and they are negotiating down the amount of water they will use.

The fire doesn't give a shit about the debt, or bipartisanship, or whatever the fuck.

Revolution when?

    It's a lot cheaper to simply let the surplus population die than it is to keep them in prison. And its certainly a lot cheaper to let it happen and build a monument than it is to actually provide care.

      so they are just assuming that a revolution/revolt just isn't going to happen? BLM last year was a weird one-off? even if I was a ruthless capitalist that didn't care about the deaths of millions, id still be cutting checks to the poors, just to keep them happy/content. i suppose they are building up their police forces, so maybe thats the plan. I suppose its working, but damn, just can't imagine this continuing for forever without people snapping

        Capitalists may work together for their class interests, but they're decentralized enough that no one wants to individually foot the bill.

        They will recognize the threat when there is a threat. Did the BLM protests threaten the position of capital?...no, just a few storefronts and small amount of weapons sales to police. Until their profits, safety, or position in society are threatened, they won't try to placate us.
