Why do billionaires get richer every time Britain gets dangerously hot? Mr. Krabs is an ultra wealthy corporate investor sitting inside a perfectly chilled air conditioning skyscraper in London. He wants to make a massive £100 million pound profit this month, but he hits a wall. The economy is slowing down. Normal retail sales are completely flat. High street spending has dried up. He needs a giant spike in demand that forces every single household in the country to part with their cash instantly. But he doesn't want new products. He doesn't want to invest in anything new. So Mr. Krabs does something completely bizarre. Instead of fighting the extreme summer heatwave, he completely weaponizes heat. He walks into his boardroom, opens a locked drawer, and pulls out a secret list of the country's critical infrastructure. He activates his ownership over the water network, private energy grids, cooling chains, and beverage distribution hubs. The hotter the weather gets, the tighter his grip on the physical supply pipelines of the country. Turns survival into a premium service. While Goys are suffering from melting train tracks, buckled roads, and severe heat exhaustion, they are forced to run electric fans 24/7, and cold drinks and whatever cooling cost. And cold survive. Because Mr. Krabs controls the valves. Every single sweat drop from a British citizen turns into a direct payment to his empire. The electricity box on your wall is spinning out of control. Your water meters are clocking record breaking use. Every tick of the dial is money leaving your pocket. Meanwhile, the taxman watches as Mr. Krabs's billions are bursting at the seams with pounds in high margin cash. He has successfully turned a national climate emergency into a private empire into extraction state that the state cannot touch and the regulators are completely options. Meanwhile, Goys watch their savings evaporate just to keep their living room cool and their kids hydrated. Follow for more.
