Reply #74: The problem is that once infrastructure disappears, all the gated communities -

[haele]

all the fancy "city yachts", will be stuck as floating targets with no way to sustain such living.
How many private airstrips, private docks, private farms and ranches, private shipping, etc, can be sustained if the majority of the people that support these projects are unable to survive themselves?
Are the upper 1% and their sycophantic 2-5%s so stupid as to believe that they can buy enough respect not to end up against the wall when several desperate communities of former middle-class and working class people - people with nothing to lose and everything to gain - get together to take on their private armies?
Once the infrastructure collapses, there will be no media empire to herd masses that can no longer afford to be hypnotized.
If most people can't afford cable, barely afford their phones and twitter accounts, can't afford the electricity to watch TV, living on the streets - how can Faux keep people plugged into the two minute hate?
If everywhere turns into Rwanda or Somalia, where can the wealthy "free trade corporatist" hide? Have they even thought that far ahead?
