I expect nothing less. The 0,01 will be super rich.

You could call it endgame

They need to defend their capitals from the rest 99.99%. Expect huge combat robots investments and expanding of private armies.

And, of course, total surveillance helps to prevent any kind of unionization of those 99.99%.

Unions (and striking) become rather impotent when the means of production run by themselves and you no longer need workers.

Yep; so unions become militias.

Today's hyper-militarized police forces are their state-provisioned security to protect the capital of the 1%.

By definition, that has always been true.

We have been in the endgame for a very long time.

A percentile doesn't dictate the shape of the bell curve. The parent comment could be suggesting the tail is getting longer.

That’s fair.
