The Rich Are Hoarding Wealth — Because They Know What’s Coming (archive.ph)

The Takeaway — Collapse Isn’t a Flaw, It’s the Plan

The rich are not scrambling to prevent collapse. They welcome it — because they know they’ll be the only ones left standing. While the rest of us are told to “sacrifice” and “tighten our belts,” billionaires are building bunkers, buying private islands, and hoarding resources for the dystopia they see coming.

I've always wondered about that. If society is collapsing, money has no value. The people you hired to help you are going to turn on you and take everything.

Money is worthless, but things like food, fuel, land and guns are worth something. The means to make food, also. Having a private militia that you pay in food is no different to paying them in money after collapse. They could rebel, but of course, if you kill the first person to rebel, the others have a choice. Try again, or keep getting food.
