    Because those in power think they’re immune to consequences for their actions.

    I think its more nuanced than that. I don’t think they think they are immune from the consequences, but rather they believe they can weather the consequences no matter how bad they get. I would guess the super wealthy all have escape plans with liquid wealth, pre-planned/prepared travel arrangements and multiple passports that would allow them to travel to a separate functioning society if ours falls around our ears.

    Hmm, is this why they buy super yachts? Is the escape plan to simply live on the boat in the middle of the ocean in luxury if all ports of call fall into chaos?
