Comment I don't think the wealthy care (Score 0) 147
They've built bunkers in Hawaii and have private armies. They could care less what happens to us. It's not like the old days when they feared us. They're global and we're local.
I do think they're underestimating how spiteful and destructive we are and our capacity to get a hold of nuclear weapons and keep flinging them at their bunkers until they collapse. But the way I see it is if they let civilization collapse about half of them will be killed but the other half are going to have a pretty good time and there's lots of them happy to flip that coin.
I think it's going to be up to the Democratic party to convince the ultra wealthy not to flip that coin, just like FDR did back in the day.
