The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

Now, I say decimate because the goal isn't to destroy white collar work entirely. It's to make those "good jobs" so rare that people will do anything to get and keep them. Including and most especially—working to quell public resistance and bolster billionaires' power.

The desire to decimate the white collar workforce is also driving billionaire attacks on DEI. Because marginalized students/workers have led the questioning of white collar alignment with billionaires, and bigotry makes it easy to get privileged workers not to care if the marginalized are pushed out
