      The rich don’t do any work and don’t buy what they sell

      They can easily be a planet away and still extract wealth from the people left behind. If pollution causes people to die quicker it doesn’t matter to them

      If pollution causes scarcity then they become richer

      If pollution causes extinction then they are dead so it doesn’t matter

        Hmm, that really sounds like a win-win situation 🤔

      Once the economy collapses, they just hoard slaves and servants and pay them with scraps.
