I'm already aware of the impact that this lockdown is having on small businesses, it ain't good. I'm wondering what you're on about with this "financial elite" stuff because corporate fat cats aren't going to suffer too much are they?
Do research into the central banks. The vast majority of them, if not all, are owned by private banks and bankers. The people who own those private banks are the financial elite for through their control of the central banks they control the economies of the world. They siphon off vast amounts of money through interest on money they themselves create out of thin air. They dictate fiscal policy for everyone through that position of control. They create booms and busts through their ability to change interest rates at will, and every time there is a boom and bust cycle they are the ones who profit the most through their knowing when the cycles will come so during the "busts" they buy up stocks, bonds, etc... at very cheap prices and thus come into control of most publicly held corporations.
It's one huge scam run on the people of the world.
They push wars because government's must borrow to pay for their armaments. They lend money to both sides of a war. Thus they profit from both the winners and the losers.
Most of these private banks are owned by families and have been for centuries. Think Rothschilds as an example.
