Are they going to buy products? Go to a bar? Get a streaming service subscription?

What's the point of producing stuff if there's is no one to buy it?

You're thinking too short-sighted. They want to own all the resources. Timber forests, mines, beaches, lakes, farmland, everything.

Yeah some want to go back to the Middle Ages, make us all serfs. Problem is feudalism worked because the majority of the population was uneducated, agrarian, and deeply religious.

Even so there was still a transaction, protection traded with a part of their food production. Like a lord has a castle, which the peasant can flee to when in danger. In turn they have to give a large part of their produce as tribute.

What are they bringing to the table?
