I don't understand how killing off the working class can be potentially beneficial to the oligarchs. Surely, they can't be this myopic?

They don't care about anyone. They just want to own as much as possible and when the world has no more to give we'll starve and they will just watch

PFAS don't kill, at least not quickly. It's a net benefit for them if they can keep large portions of the population desperate as they struggle to pay for cancer treatments.
