Its more about control. Who can get in a subway car, who can visit you, which buildings can you enter, turns off your email? Who controls your Red, Yellow, Green status button?
Control is power.
The Second Amendment is peanuts compared this this.

This will also include communications with censorship, propaganda, and indoctrination by education curriculum. Once they control the basics of daily life and your source of knowledge they have you. In a delocalized world with people made helpless with things like basic income to do nothing or slave labor of collectives then control can be automated. Algorithms will follow and influence you. China is well along with this. The west is in a civil war with this currently. The left want to push socialism and MMT to gain control of the economy and wokism to gain control of the social fabric. The left has been hijacked by the Great Reset crowd. The right is resisting. These two forces are colliding in a civil war. This stuff is straight out of the Matrix!

Overall outcome is going to be very much Latin American.
To learn about future of US watch what's going on in Brazil, Bolivia or Venezuela.
In future system will degrade to much lower tech than you can possibly imagine.
That is because resources and intellectual capacity needed to keep high tech world is disappearing and most intelligent people begin to realize what's going on and cease their contributions to this society.
Pointless to talk about UBI or MMT as these are nonsenses even if trending between elites.
MMT was tried in Weimar Republic and more recently in Zimbabwe between countless other places to result in uniformly the same outcome - ruin.
UBI is so patently stupid and preposterous idea that MMT by comparison is crafty and successful economic doctrine.
The very fact that such ideas are openly discussed as a possible working solution is only demonstrating that Westerners in their huge majority are just brain dead zombies.
You people don't understand that all what is in store is degradation of life standards, decay of technological civilization, return to far more primitive life styles for most while keeping high tech islands for elites.
In 10-20 years you will be glad to have electricity few hours a day and a job paying $100 per week and your UBI will be a bowl of soup from Samaritans or Salvation Army assuming that they still exist.
Stop dreaming idiots!

Maybe it is like this:
The elite have watched and read about the financial crisis and peak oil for many years. They have gradually realised the results will not be positive for them no matter how much money they have.
The elite are dependent on the 99% because the elite are not able to maintain and repair their Lear jets to give just a simple example. They are not dependent on all of the 99% but on about the smartest quarter.
Watching things developing and occassionally reading here something from @shortonoil and taking some time to study the second law of thermodynamics, and seeing the 99% keep multiplying like rabbits the elite might have seen a point where they needed to do something. Namely
1) stop the masses from using resources the elite need for their survival. But forcing people to travel less, drive less and being jailed at home would have lead to a world-wide revolution. They must be scared to do all that voluntarily. A "deadly" global pandemic could be helpful.
2) Get rid of three quarters of the masses, the not too bright ones or the ones they consider a burden, like old and physically or mentally disadvantaged. A virus could be used to first get rid of the last mentioned. For the next stage they could target those stupid enough to wear masks, fall sick after some time and then are easy prey for the virus. And finally those stupid enough to accept being vaccinated with a hastily developed unproven vaccine which will kill many, always leaving the more intelligent ones at each stage.
Of course I am not serious. I am very sure that none of the elite would be so cruel and selfish. I was just thinking what if they were.
The International Air Transport Association is in the process of finalizing a digital COVID-19 passport that would include information about a traveler’s COVID-19 testing and vaccinations that would be verified by labs, airlines and government agencies, according to a new report.
