But more poor people means more mindless consumers, which means more profits. And if we know one thing, it’s that what the ultra rich want most, is be more rich. They are hoarders after all. And they couldn’t concentrate more wealth onto them, if there’s no one to take wealth away from. Or maybe that’s hypothetical doesn’t really work ;)

Why would they want so few people to oppress and exploit?

To sell the unused 32gb at a maybe profit?
