That’s not handing anything over. They’re going for one last big payout after a lifetime of exploitation.
They have their real estate portfolio that they rent at exorbitant prices, or sell at massive mark ups because they got into the market at sane levels and contributed to the feeding frenzy that has led to today’s unaffordable housing.
They strung their employees on, taking the increased profits from inflation without paying their employees enough to keep up.
And now they’re selling their small businesses to those same employees at prices that practically guarantee they will be unable to keep up. Because even though they have all the wealth that they’ve accumulated from a life of exploitation, they deserve to ride off into the sunset with a saddlebag stuffed with gold.
