There is no safety. No matter how wealthy you are, your house can be destroyed. No matter how much you diversify your portfolio, the economy could crash and send you back to square one. No matter what private army you pay, forces beyond your control can crush you like a bug.
Humans do not rule the world, and under capitalism, we don't even rule ourselves. We're ruled by profit motives more than any rich individual. No matter how much Musk or Trump try to play king, they're merely mortals riding the wave of economics and politics. We have no real gods, only chaos; no real masters, only thugs and bullies
The wealthy can't hide from the Children of Kali.
