90. Privilege snowballs.
The more the privileged have, the more they get.

At first they have to ask for more.
Then they can demand more.
Then they can simply take more.

Then the people at the bottom have nothing left and we can be crushed simply for sport, or whim.

Miller is hoping for that kind of an outcome. He clearly thinks it would be entertaining, as long as he's one of the few with privilege.

You are very right. We have reached the point where it is safe to talk about us as if we are helpless, and as if we deserve to be helpless. As if we deserve to simply die because we aren't good enough to live.

But this certainly doesn't apply to any wealthy person who has a disability. Oh no. We all know that a wealthy person with a disability would be served at all times by an army of the best health care specialists and attendants to accommodate the problems from the disability and protect him/her from any of the problems or effects of discrimination that come from having a disability.

Problems? Discrimination? That shit is only for little people.
