      No they won’t. They’ll be living worse lives that an average nobody in a world where they made the world more stable and prosperous. They’ll have pollution in their blood, be at constant risk of backstabbing by other rich fucks, and only a handful of kings will live as well as billionaires did in the 80s. The current trajectory sees not only the wealthy having more wealth, but the wealthy being fewer and fewer people. As there is less to steal from the citizens, the only people left to fleece are the rest of the nobility.

      They’re just fatalistic and believe nobody can improve things, so it might as well be them on top of the increasingly narrow and unstable trash heap. They’re not on top because they’re smarter, but because some clout chaser has to be lucky.

        they are on the top because they are the least scrupulous people on the planet. as long as they are on top of whichever bs hierarchy they created they’ll be happy. no matter how much misery they create.

        things won’t improve until the rich fear for their lives
