Mildly incorrect. They sometimes create artificial scarcity.

Don't forget poverty. That wealth has to trickle up from somewhere!

They also create artificial moral outrage and panic. They make wars when convenient, which is often.

Ah, but they make a bunch of sub-optimal and ill-informed decisions about that everyone else is for some reason forced, by other people, to make work or else they’ll lose their jobs! So you see, clearly oligarchs deserve high praise!

Was about to point out that they often do have kids, but re-read and indeed they don't ever seem involved in the actual raising.

It's like they purposely try to detach themselves from anything that makes us human.
