The elites built the train. Why would they invite the poors onto the train to starve them into cannabalism which would eventually cause revolution?

Doesn't make sense.

Why not just invite the elites and a few skillful poors (used for train maintenance) onto the train and provide the same accomodations and treatment to all on board?

Derp.

There's plenty of room for interpretation, I chose to think that it was maybe a last ditch effort of being nice. Maybe it started with good intentions but then humanity devolved from there.

BUT, you also must remember the idea of "the balance." Harris and Hurt's character believed that to be integral to the survival of the species. So maybe it was intentional to invite the poors.

The assumption being that EVEN if you invite only the upper class, that eventually someone would become "the poors." Why not just start from square one and construct society intentionally that way?

both of these work for me. he talked soooo much about balance it would make sense. And maybe use them as the lowly workers and such. If they ever needed a specific position they always just chose someone from the back and eventually even used them as parts.
