    I really doubt it. Have you seen the movie Elysium? It’s gonna be the same, except that the ending isn’t gonna be that nice because all those with power will side with those who can fund them.

      No I haven’t, but you better hope you’re right, because historically it doesn’t go well for the aristocracy when the peasants revolt.

        Except that they have planes now. They can fuck things up so bad while accumulating wealth, then fly away and deal with none of the consequences while they spend money from their vast bank accounts in Switzerland.

        Didn’t this happen in Sri Lanka a few months ago?
