She big time needs to die.

I agree with both sentiments.

You really have a knack for phrasing things in such a way that it makes me lol

I believe there’s a reckoning coming in America and the poor are going to show the rich no mercy. People say I’m crazy but it’s an historical pattern. These kinds of wealth disparities are unsustainable for the rich. They’re already scared. Gated communities, cameras, alarms, private security- but all that can’t stop the bum rush. A hungry mob is an angry mob.

And a disenfranchised mob - or one whom others have tried to disenfranchise - has nothing left to lose.

The problem is that we live in the age of instantaneous information. If things ever even remotely got to the point where mobs are showing up in the Hollywood Hills, you'll see quite a few of those trust fund ****s buy up gold, lock it away in a Swiss vault somewhere and fly off to some other country (most likely Panama or Nevis) that'll welcome their money.

One of the nice things about being rich is that if you want to throw away your citizenship and jump ship, not only can you do so but there are countries that will make it worth your while to do so.

They can’t take their mansions with them.

And assassins can fly too. And children can be targeted. All kinds of **** could happen.

They’re not safe.

Rich people in other countries can get killed too.

Glad I'm poor.

This kinda stuff is why the revolution isn't gonna play out well. They don't care about their mansions - if they want one, they'll just go buy another one.

Go talk to someone with wealth who is detailed oriented and knows what they're doing - you'll walk away overwhelmed. There is no way disorganized poor people can systematically stomp out the rich who actually protect themselves and their assets properly. There's a universe of difference in the way you and someone whose net worth is a certain amount looks at what they have and what to do with it. That's why some lawyers and security teams get paid ridiculously well - they eliminate any and all threats to the guys writing the checks.

I'm not saying some rich won't die if a revolution of some kind does happen. There are stupid rich people who park it in America and who aren't all that different from say, Donald Trump. But you won't get rid of the ones who have been properly advised.

Here's to hoping that they're that naive!
