Disaster Capitalism They already have wealth and power. They'll not be harmed greatly by the damage (they can even "bet" on the harm happening) By fuelling more chaos, they can then hoover up the remains. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sho...

The thing about dystopias, is that there's generally a group who live very comfortably and get to decide how the rest of us suffer. I agree, it's beyond the comprehension of most caring, empathetic individuals.
