    It makes me wonder, just what are the rich old geezer and young rich hustlers going to do when the planet becomes uninhabitable due to this? Go to space? There’s no where to go and our technology is only good enough to get to the Moon and Mars. But there’s no where to really live that’s like Earth and the exoplanets we discovered, are beyond our reach.

    So I am under the belief that these climate destroying rich people, just want to ruin things at the expense and survival of others.

      They will try to buy their way out of it. On an individual level. Water shortage, they’ll pay more for water. They’ll pay top dollar to keep the a/c on, etc. when no amount of money will help and they didn’t plan ahead with Zuckerberg-style bunkers, they’ll just die like the rest of us.

      And the billionaires will possibly be killed in their expensive bunkers, if the Fallout series taught us anything.

        Even escaping to a Zuckerberg-style bunker sounds depressing as fuck to me. I don’t care how fancy it is, it’s still a gilded cage with limited resources…

          Well sure, but the alternative is to stop being the absolute richest people to have ever existed. Surely the existence of all humans is worth less than that!

      They just don’t believe the earth can be uninhabitable, and they think they can hide inside their home all day with AC on. They just don’t care, most people i met don’t anyway. It’s crazy.

      I’ve said it before, but i think they honestly believe their money will save them. They were able to buy their way out of every other issue they’ve ever encountered in their life, so they think they’re immune to whatever troubles us smallfolk have to deal with.
