Surely their huge stacks of money will protect them from the bullets, right? Right???
I'm worried you may be underestimating how many bootlickers would be willing to defend a billionaire in some sort of collapse scenario
I would personally prefer to sentence anyone with a net worth of over $1B to a lifetime eating $100 bills until they've literally eaten their fortune. Show them the real value of their monopoly paper, you know?
I mean, yes, good luck getting to their closed communities and enwalled houses with panic rooms, personal bodyguards and police / law in their pockets. Did we even have any famous billionaire assassinations in history so far?
That's why they're all building bunkers. They know unrest is coming, they know they're part of the problem, they just don't care.
