Oh, really? Are they going to produce all of their own energy within the confines of their gated estates? Not to mention food and water? I think they may find that there are severe restrictions on their life. Styles.
Maybe the ruling class THINK there won’t be any restrictions on their lifestyles.
I have a relative that absolutely believes that the vehicles available to the masses should be restricted,
but that she’ll be able to keep her huge SUV “because I can afford it”.
