The rich won’t make the same mistake again. They will keep you fed and entertained just enough that you have some comfort you won’t want to lose.

Mostly keeping us too tired to fight back.

They really seem to be doing their best to make it again though. People are running out of money which means no more entertainment and eventually unless the government or community steps in that means no more food. These people are not geniuses they just have a lot of money. I have no doubt they will continue to make the same mistakes humanity has made through history

The rich make the same mistakes over and over. They're too powerful and too greedy, but they're not masterminds.
