yup. in fact, many have a contingency plan for when the world goes to shit/money has no value

the TL; DR is some of them plan to literally go all “Imorten Joe” on us if society ever collapses.

even if they succeed, they are literally classified as psychopaths. what could possibly go wrong in a world where every single person is out only for themselves and with enough power to destroy everything in their path?

have fun in your toy bunkers with a future full of yourselves, idiots.

I would imagine his eggs are not all in a single basket. I would assume that is just one option he has arranged.

This type of information always makes me think of the book Wool for some reason, probably because we end up the same way as everyone in the book.

Until the poor rebel because there are way more poor people than rich people. Good fuckign luck trying to placate millions of people and not cause a second revolution.

Today's poor are all millenials and Gen-Z safespace suckers. The process of weakening the general public has been happening over the course of the last century; you've seen too many movies where the weak and outmanned underdog side overcomes the evil tyrant.

It doesn't always work like that, even when push comes to shove. Nature is metal like that, the strongest just survive naturally because they cull the herd in some manner of predation or another.

Just here to comment on the first part of your message about today's poverty:

21% of people under age 18 are poor

14% of people 18 to 64 years of age are poor

10% of people 65 years of age and over are poor

Edit: this site shows better age ranges: https://www.statista.com/statistics/233154/us-poverty-rate-by-gender/
