Is he out of touch or has he just recognized that 50% of the economic activity is already from the top 10% of the population?
I get the feeling the wealthy have just written off the bottom 90% of society and don't actually give a flying fuck if anything works for us or not. He knows his core sales will go to people who do have fiber at their doorstep.
Maybe we're the ones out of touch thinking they plan on having a place for us in this world at all.
Even Ford, piece of utter feculence he was, understood that if you gave people money and time to spend it they'll give it right back to you and everyone gets to come up together.
That was a PR stunt. Wages were being raised anyway, he just preempted what he knew was coming to make himself look good
Next you're gonna tell me that Ford didn't actually invent the weekend, but was pressured by unions.
Or that tipped wages aren't meant to let the employees get a higher wage than they could at a fixed wage, but instead only benefit the business.
You and your crazy conspiracy theories. Now, if you're done being wrong, I have a bridge to purchase.
Thats the plan, organize yourselves now before they do it for you
plus they get to control and censor information much more tightly
Censoring parts of gameplay as you play would be very impressive, btw. Not in a good way, but impressive, like when I first found out about ISP replacing/adding ads on http pages
once computers are completely in their hands, they can control and censor much much more than just games.

That's clear, this is just a weird image
Also, I believe they don't really need to have complete control for that, too
they do when the computers are hosted on their own cloud
