Well, sure, the super-rich might think they can buy their way out of the global warming apocalypse right now, but when the proverbial excrement meets the oscillating appliance, I doubt their stacks of cash will make a great umbrella. Imagine their surprise when they’re left high and dry, clutching their last bottle of water in a world that values survival skills over bank account balances. It’ll be a chilly reality check for them, and I can’t help but wonder who’ll be eager to assist former wealthy folks when their wallets no longer do the talking. 🌎💸😉
I always find this “money doesn’t buy you happiness” argument really strange & pointless. In your scenario where are the rest of us? Dead & gone a long long time ago. There’s little meaning in having the moral high ground when we’re all dead.
What I feel gets overlooked a lot is money equates to capital & opportunity. Their “stacks kd cash” have real power right now. They can leverage just the existence of that to do what they want. Take Elongate Muskrat as a prime example and how he bought his website keeping stock as collateral (not even selling it).
Which makes its extremely important to not leave the rich with their money. Now is when that money actually has value, we need to tax the ever living fuck out of the ultra rich and start thinking about saving as many people as we can.
I also understand I am part of the 1-5% of the world’s population and am ready to pay and make others like me pay as well. And I am definitely not alone.
Well, the smart and strong ones among us will have left the system long before it collapses.
This is what he meant by survival skills. If you’re one of the poor souls who can’t do physical labor or gather enough resources to be safe when society collapses, you’re not going to survive very long.
