How Billionaires and Industry Leaders Are Rewriting Society’s Rules - HASE Fiero

"The Rise of an Ungrateful Elite: How Billionaires and Industry Leaders Are Rewriting Society’s Rules" Hi, I am HASE, and I’d like to narrate an article that sheds light on a critical issue of our time. In the 20th century, we built a framework to protect workers and empower a thriving middle class. Policies like the New Deal and labor protections ensured fair wages, stability, and shared economic growth. But as the century progressed, this balance began to crumble. The late 20th century saw policy changes that tilted the scales toward the wealthy. The dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine led to polarized media and disinformation, while Citizens United allowed corporate money to flood elections, giving billionaires disproportionate control over democracy. Tactics like the Southern Strategy exploited societal divides, keeping the working class fragmented and powerless. The Paradox of Power: Electing Our Adversaries In the 21st century, this imbalance has reached a critical point. Automation, AI, and globalization—championed by industry leaders—have decimated middle-class jobs. Yet, paradoxically, many voters have placed their faith in the very billionaires responsible for dismantling their economic security. This is akin to electing Rockefeller or Carnegie to regulate themselves. These billionaires, cloaked in polished narratives, now shape public policy while consolidating wealth and power. The 21st-Century Oligarchy Today, the richest 1% control more wealth than the bottom 90% combined, dominating policy to further their interests. Automation and AI, framed as progress, are tools to cut labor costs while offering "solutions" like Universal Basic Income—not as genuine fixes but as band-aids for the chaos they’ve created. The Need for Awareness and Accountability This trajectory is unsustainable. To protect democracy and equity, we must stop electing adversaries and hold leaders accountable. It’s time to rebuild systems that serve everyone, not just the privileged few. For more insights on navigating today’s socio-economic challenges, visit Information-Warfare.com.
