I’m convinced they’re just playing Crusader Kings in real life.

They’re working to gain more power for their respective houses. they want to climb the ladders of influence, fame, fortune to rule their dynasty.

We progressively ran out of ways to leverage tangible assets and labor so we created money, credit, loans, interest, banking. Eventually we ran out of ways to move real money (power/influence cap) so they divorced money from real actual things and now we use pretend money that can be moved on promises alone to raise the power cap. The main promise being that we’ll continue to do more and more work because we have to or the money becomes worthless.

Now that the value of our money is tied directly to our tax liability people can be sold for their lifetime’s value upon birth and even before! That’s right, they’re printing money by projecting the value of your children’s children! Unfortunately for them the tax rates are not quite 100% so there’s still a major cap on power.

The only way to progress from here is to get more promises from each of us which is why they’re trying to push more industries to the government and more taxpayer money to those industries - especially the ones we all need. Healthcare. Transportation. Education. Security. There’s more and each are expanding in their very definitions for specifically the purpose of getting a bigger slice of human labor cake ... think about what is considered “healthcare” now vs 30 years ago. How much is “regulated travel”? Why the big push for everyone to go to college?

Eventually we’ll be indebted from birth to death for every service we could ever need... and then we will be slaves.
