There also is a huge watershed of people who are now out of work, and they may not remain peaceful much longer:
The implementation of robotics and AI will take away even more millions of jobs in the near future. What are all THOSE people going to do when they can't pay their bills or feed their families? Simply printing more fiat money won't solve the problem, and would cause its own set of problems.
We are on the verge of a complete societal meltdown. And what did Congress do when US oligarchs came to DC to "testify"? Nothing, at least nothing of importance.
Some industrial strength shit is going to hit the fan real soon, and when it does people are going to look for someone to save them from the chaos. Whoever that person is, they're quite likely to be a dictator like we've never seen before. To paraphrase Eleanor Shaw Iselin from The Manchurian Candidate, our savior will seize powers which will make martial law seem like anarchy!
