I wonder when people will just lose it and start culling these guys

I know you were being rhetorical but to expand on that anyway, for many very good reasons not until enough people realize it's the only way anything will get better for us, and a short bit after we realize they won't hesitate to do the same.

The fun thing is if the powder keg goes off they are infinitely more exposed if they want to spend their money. Poor people can just walk back into the crowd and blend with the masses. Rich people are going to want to spend their money on services and services usually means blindly trusting a chain of labor. Even if you micromanage your services you can't watch over the entire supply/service chain...

They'll be class traitors though, just like now. those're the ones i am gonna be the saddest about
