    The rich will be ok and their kids will repopulate earth. With a plow, a hammer and a sicle. Oh the irony…

      Richfolk are known for their strong survival skills.

      My odds are on them being the first ones killed and looted when the shit really hits the fan.

        Probably by the very armies and security forces they hired to protect them from that in the first place, once they realize that the rest of society collapsing means there probably won’t be consequences for forcibly inheriting their employer’s estate.

        Or maybe it will be whoever holds the keys to the safety system they built when they realised they’d be at the mercy of their security forces.

          What’s the richman gonna give his army? Money?

          His army’s got the guns. It’s one versus the entire staff, on a private island, at the collapse of society, and you think the guys with all guns and no food are gonna treat their boss with the civility that’s expected in a typical employee/employer relationship?

          Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
