When the SHTF for real, these billionaires and powerful people will find that they really aren’t so.
They will find that the ‘help’ (bodyguards, etc.) may be less than helpful.
Indeed
Not so sure, how many armed guards can you afford to hold the invading mobs at bay?
If there is no way for their employers to access their funds-like when the grid goes down shutting off communication, and the help/servants realize they aren’t going to get paid-maybe not fed, either-they will probably not be not be tolerant loyal for long and will either leave with all the supplies they can carry or run amok...
I wonder what they think will happen when they emerge from their bunker and there are no crops, no animals, no folks who know how to grow and harvest plants, no folks who know how to fish and hunt
Good luck on a stripped-down planet when the folks who inherited money or made big bucks in technology or hedge funds have to survive with only each other and their spoiled, useless spawn to rely upon.
