You can get rid of 30% of the population, to “thin the herd”, but most businesses will experience 30% drop in revenue, will cause big business to become medium business, for small businesses to shut down and all marginal business, (about 30%) will have to shut down due to no possibility of expanding market with shrunken market. THE ECONOMY IMPLODES and never recovers, because 30% of customers have been vapourized…is why nations who kill off their poor end up invading other nations to pay the bills for their imploded economy.
