That all makes sense, whenever I see the media pushing something I often look in the opposite direction to see what's really going on.

About 120 years ago the majority of people were still of the serf class, for lack of a better name. The rulers had a good hold on them, as they had for all time really. Then something changed, people say it was the industrial revolution but more specifically I believe it was OIL. Oil was so cheap, so abundant that the flow on effects to average person lifted them out of poverty and on the road "literally" to a much better lifestyle.

Soon they were clogging all the best beaches, hogging the slopes at the ski resorts and noisily motoring their little pleasure boats in and out amongst the 'elite's' luxury yachts. This must have been galling for the old monied families of the world, as it would be today. This reset might be simply an effort to re-balance the rich/poor equation as they see it.

You could be correct. I suspect they are preparing for a world where A.I. makes their debt-slave labour non-essential. For years I've been trying to promote...

Well that's a worthy crusade, I hope you have found some interested followers. It would be easy to overturn the whole system if probably only 20% downed tools and refused to cooperate. There is no central coordination though, so everyone just goes along with the wave.

Without decentralization and infiltrator-resistance any coordination would be thwarted, steered, and repurposed.
