Where the fuck do they get this money from? $300 billion is fucking nuts. And 1.4 trillion in costs is literally bigger than my countries' entire GDP (Australia)
The 1% is willing to pay whatever imaginary fiat currency they can to eliminate the need for the working class. Then they can finally get rid of us.
While simultaneously acting like a bunch of whining little crybabies about declining fertility rates.

Hedging their bets. They're only capable of being sure of the future as the next person, which isn't very capable at all. But they have the ill-gotten means to back both sides so they continue to be on top.
