The Destruction Of Society Underway

"Slowly at first, and then all at once" Ernest Hemingway, on his bankruptcy

What if there is no plan?
When they burn down rainforests, do the creatures living there wonder why? We see the protest of the orangutan, but it is fruitless. The plan is to plant palm oil and the forest must go.
But what about when they blow up mountains to get the coal or the gold? There is no further plan. When they vacuum the ocean floor to get the fish, and destroy the coral reefs and other nurseries, there is no further plan. When they use up the topsoil and the water to grow wheat on the Great Plains, there is no further plan.
When they moved the factories out of Middle America, starting in the 80s, there was no further plan. Now called the Rust Belt, for the rusting remnants, whole cities have crumbled, storefronts boarded up, houses abandoned, downtowns empty except for the homeless, the pawn shops and the tattoo parlors.
It has been 40 years, and Flyover Country, as the residents of the coasts call us, is sparsely populated now, comparatively.
What is the plan now? The country was locked down for Shock Therapy, but for what? We speculate wildly. Some sort of Matrix society or Mad Max, or just destruction and abandonment, like an ocean floor or a fracked site.
Bars and restaurants are closed. Organized sports shut down. Department stores shuttered. Hospitals and schools closed. Police departments to be disbanded.
And now they are shutting down cash. Stores shuttered, but no yard sales or roadside produce stands possible. Evictions and foreclosures, but no panhandling for spare change. Wage labor impossible, but also odd jobs under the table.
Like orangutans fighting the bulldozers, we see the destruction of our society, but we are powerless to stop it.
And like the orangutans, we are collateral damage. We are of no interest to the Destroyers. There is no difference to them if we live or die. Their interest is in what they can strip from our environment, not whether we survive the destruction. Like thieves stripping a car for parts, they are not interested in the future function, only what they can get for the parts.
There seems to be no plan for our future survival.
