Trump is an icon of "You’re Fired!’ angry businessmen. They want a state where business is entirely unregulated and controls all aspects of life, company towns and states, no environmental protection rules, dog eat dog education system and weapons everywhere. Public execution or brazen lynching of non-conforming sexual identity / racial out-groups to cheer on. Freedom to discriminate and threaten people they don’t like.
business is entirely unregulated and controls all aspects of life
On the bright side, a “corporate congress” would probably only allow like half of the other stuff. They would still need educated workers, and why give anyone any freedoms.
Based on how they treated the top of medical science during the pandemic, I don’t think they want educated workers. They can travel to smarter places. They want trade skills, technology skills, not people educated in humanities. They believe in 25% business growth every year and it’s a unsustainable fantasy that was largely build off over-exploiting the earth and creating population booms.

Linked to the AI post, I think they would want the best educated workers in all areas… and the rest can file for unemployment while AIs replace them.
Dunno if that would lead to more unemployed people starting new competing businesses, or a total humanitarian disaster.
