The Cost of The Subsidies for The Billionaire Class Part 7
open.substack.com/pub/gigimacm...
This isn’t ideology.
It’s a business model — one that turns public need into private revenue.
And because the global oligarch network described in Part 6 shares the same incentives, the playbook looks nearly identical whether you’re in the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, India, or Eastern Europe.
By the time you reach this layer of the machine, the strategy is no longer subtle. Across countries, industries, and political systems, the same pattern repeats:
Starve a public institution.
Declare it failing.
Offer a private alternative.
Extract profit from what used to be a public right.

People aren’t “falling for misinformation” — they’re being targeted by machines built to shape what they see, feel, and believe.

By the time you reach this part of the machine, the strategy becomes unmistakable: the same institutions that shape public opinion also write the laws.

Public money in the United States doesn’t disappear — it moves. And when you follow the flow, the pattern becomes unmistakable: the country isn’t underfunded; it’s being drained upward.

Every billionaire tax break is paid for by someone who can’t afford the bill.
The punchline is simple: when the billionaire class receives subsidies, the cost doesn’t disappear. It shifts.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the piece. My next series really bummed me out writing it, this country would be a much better place if we weren't subsidizing the billionaires.
I can try, it kept giving me misspelled words and I got frustrated. I'll try to fix them in the morning. I meant to change it to something else.

Part 7 showed what happens when those mutations collide with real streets...
Part 8 shows how we interrupt the cycle.
