"Customers" implies that we live in a market economy and that the wealth and power at those at the top is dependent on them producing things that people want.

This is clearly not the case. The people at the top stay there no matter what market conditions are like. People buying tacky plastic crap does not benefit them. The majority of humanity could disappear and their lives would not be significantly altered.

But during the slippery sloped slide, people seek medical drugs t address each and every symptom caused by each and every drug until they’ve paid their fair share of annuities to big pharma…then they’re useless.

A.I. is here and ready to be unleashed on the world, transhumanism, all that shit... But first, they need to get rid of a few billion useless eaters. Maybe that's how Gates got involved.

AI is generally crap and doesn't do 1/10th of what people think it does. Case in point, Google search results have gotten worse and worse over the years.

That's not true A.I. That's just when it's used as a marketing term. I'm talking about The Technological Singularity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

Keeping a whole 5% of their employee base, wow

I think there is a lot of truth to this. Many companies were seeking to downsize anyway.
