    I won’t go that far. They need the underclass because they keep buying products to keep getting them richer. They just don’t care about the qualitiy of life of anyone below them. Quite literally they just said “Turn the AC up if it get’s too hot”, so dense and non interested in literally anyone else or what is actually happening.

    If their mansion gets swept away in a flood they’ll just build a new one. Won’t everyone else?

      Fair, but consider what will happen in 2030 when famines are near constant and society literally can’t continue to support an underclass. Then what will the ruling class do?

          I remember back when the rich hid in their bunkers in New Zealand during the lockdowns. That revealed a lot about how humanity truly is.
