Where the Rich People Will Go

when billionaires like the founder of paypal have sucked all of us bottom feeders dry--- when they’ve exploited us, pulling the strings of the politicians that pretend to work for us, so that our rights & entitlements have been stripped, so that our employment & health concerns have been thrown by the wayside--- when 95+ percent of us who have less than the other 1-5% are angry beyond words & have begun to finally organize, arm, & lose it completely, the rich will already be gone--- the rich who have not figured a way to physically leave this planet for good (yet), are building their little countries in the international waters with the help of organizations like the seasteading institute, and like something out of a cheese-filled sci-fi film, people who want to rid themselves of us & start from scratch, living in a world even more make-believe than this one, will get the chance because they raped us really good, squandering all that could have been used to build schools, provide health care, etc. these islands for the utterly selfish, while providing a safe place for those that are wealthy & sick of the rabble, are also beautiful new targets for all kinds of terrorist organizations, from the biggest who threaten whole states like the US and its buddies to the common pirates taking out cruise ships--- with the hacktivists neutralizing their security systems & the shark attack of terrorism one wonders where the rich people will go when their little islands are burning?
