Purpose: raise costs for middle class to make them lower class and dependent; 2 classes will exist, rich, and gov’t dependent, that’s all.
Fewer people will go to mall, mall’s operating costs go up, mall businesses go out of business...perfect plan to wipe out middle class.
Based on the neighborhoods where most 1970s and 80s constructed malls are located, my view is that most eventually become Section 8 housing.
A few are used to house computer server farms (because of the cheap rent)
