I don't really understand what the end goal here is. They've got to realize that at some point people are going to just take what they need right? Are they hoping that's far enough away that it won't be their problem anymore? Or do rich people schools not teach what happens when workers are backed into too deep of a corner?
The mindset these people have is the same one that is destroying the ecosystem: they do not care.
The long term is seen as merely a succession of short terms. Numbers going up is seen as proof of prosperity regardless of if those numbers signify actual sustainable growth or not.
