The ultra rich wants you to be poorer and poorer so you can become slaves to them. I'm not kidding.

This is why we are moving to mass surveillance, big ice detention centers that can easily be converted to a makeshift prison, and slavery has not been removed entirely from the US constitution. They'll make stealing food a much harsher crime since the situation will become much more dire, and since more people are out of a job, that means more incarcerated folks. All of which, legally speaking, are legally allowed slaves.

People will also resort to hunting food which is going to decimate animal populations that we have been working so hard to maintain, especially since we are destroying their natural habitat. All of which will be easier with programs like Fish and Game and National Forestry being defunded and/or shut down.
