If we all retain our memory, as is usual for a time loop, then we all have agency in the next loop, as is usual for a time loop, and the only things that “repeat” are natural things like acts of nature.
So eventually we would know where the things happen and they would become sources of energy. Billionaires would buy them and other means of life, everyone would become dependent on something that the oligarchy would gain control of, and everything would be the same as it is now, essentially.
Possibly they threaten the masses with quick death unless they serve is some capacity? I’m being terribly pessimistic, but I do think all it takes are a couple of assholes to ruin things.
That’s an interesting take. People are indeed whipped already, with money being the carrot. In a time loop I can definitely see the powerful threatening nukes to “incentivize” everyone.
Though, I think this would only be a pattern in the early stages. Once you’ve been nuked, you get used to it, and the threat wears off

How are the money not reset? People working as “transaction secretaries” to uphold the oligarchy is very slim
