I started talking to a friend about this and he called me a tin foil hat wearing conspiracist and said even if it’s true him and his company is making money off of it so he doesn’t care.

Couldn’t this also just end up as a command economy masquerading as capitalism? Basically the oligarchs get together and say ok game over we win, lets divide up whatever is left and milk that cash cow into perpetuity?

Does it matter? It happened, and has been widely confirmed.
