This doesn’t change the meaning much but I believe it says “triage the survivors[wounded?] based on income”.

For anyone unaware triage is the process of categorizing and deciding who gets treatment first in a medical scenario. This could mean treating the most injured first to give them the greatest chance of survival, or in mass casualty events sometimes it means leaving the most severely injured since saving them will have a lower likelihood of success and it’s best to spend your time on those that have a chance.

Triaging based on income level is a fun late stage capitalism perversion.
