Chris Hedges: The Final Battle

14. "The corporate state knows that the steady deterioration of the economy

and the increasingly savage effects of climate change will create widespread social instability."

They do know this. It is how we wind up with oil companies publicly funding climate change deniers while they privately prepare for and are busy at work dividing up the new exploration areas CC will bring.
It is why they need to address the long term costs associated with with our safety net, and soon. Stuff is expensive now, sure, but we ain't seen nothing yet.
Wall St and its supporters know now all to well the hell they are unleashing on earth. They are not idiots. They are not blind enough to not trust their own lying eyes.

The system will not allow itself to be touched, to be regulated. The only option is ensuring the costs to maintain the lower classes be as low as possible when the climate eggs they have laid finish incubating.

If I recall correctly, as it stands now they base inflation on manufactured goods. The costs of those items have mostly declined over the last 30 years. When the rising tide of the damage they have wrought starts to breach the walls it will drastically increase the costs of those goods. Climate change will change everything. Costs will have to dramatically skyrocket.
They know they have to put a stop to it now before they wind up having to partially foot the bill for the misery they have so selfishly heaped upon the young, the unborn and our natural world.
