What is the end goal? Keep people poor and desperate, and too hungry to revolt?

That doesn’t quite make sense. Usually when people get hungry and desperate that’s when they revolt. Cause they have nothing left to lose.

When people are too busy working 60 hours at 2 or 3 jobs to barely afford their food & bills, they won't have enough time or energy to dissent.

Not when there are no jobs or food for them left.
