The rest of this century is only going to get progressively worse for everyone, regardless. Wealthy nations, as a whole, will not be spared. Oligarchs, including the wealthy from "poor" nations, will be able to extend their time of comfort, but it will catch up with them to.
Century is a long time. Those who voted for this crap will not live to suffer.
Many poor nations are suffering today. And will likely collapse into failed states during those voters lifetimes.
So yes there is a difference between rich or poor. As living in the wealthy we get to not make your decendents suffer. These voters forget some are already suffering and are happy to ignore it. As I said wealthy nations will be the last to suffer. And suffer the least.
More then billionaires. But way way less then those the west has stripped of resources and competative ability since the 1800s.
