    I would kill for a movie where it plays out that premise and shows fucked the billionaires are.

    Also for a cherry on top them escaping to a digital ark and finding out the AI that runs it removed all their authority and turns their eternity into a hell scape out of some twisted logic.

    the rest of us: movie plays out like a revenge action thrill ride aka John wick

    billionaires : horror film where they are in jigsaw’s contraptions

      Don’t Look Up had all the billionaires and other “VIPs” fuck off in a giant space Ark.

    Imagine being more concerned over surviving an apocalypse with your accumulated wealth intact than over how you can improve conditions now.

    Billionaires should not exist.

    The elites are fucked in a societal collapse. The question in the article “how do I pay my guards without money?” Sums it up pretty well…

    Without money, you pay for the skilled output of others with skilled output of your own. The skill of brokering is still useful, but if that’s literally all you got, you got problems :)

    The post apocalyptic “elite” are the guys that can macguyver the fuck out of stuff :)
