Thanks to the Wuhan Flu and other things we are seeing the largest wealth transfer from the Middle Class to the Elite in years and their is no sign of it stopping.
They flee to orbit, and have the funds/means to do so in a realtive short time frame, if they just throw money at the problem.This is one of the many reasons why I think the current populist movement is only going to gain steam, and why the increasingly draconian measures of control wont work. The whole social credit system of china for example that relys on the idea that things get better so there is a buy in but when each day things get increasingly worse? That shit stops working.
My money on the end point is that our leadership class has decided to grift and steal as much as they can from the system as a whole and then plan to flee to another country and live like kings. There is just one problem pretty much all of western civilizations leadership has the same plan.
And when they realize that they fucked up and there is no where to run thats when the gloves really come off for both sides.

Then they're beyond the reach of anyone without an ASAT system.

...This isn't going to be remotely viable any time in the near future.
Space travel is hard, and also terrifyingly fragile. We need either a technological leap at least as potent as that of the internal combustion engine, or generations more of refinement before a space-based civilization would be possible.
Honestly that would be great if the people causing shit left we could start on the process of fixing the damage they caused.So that why's there so much clamor about space travel and getting to Mars these days.
The global Cabal want to ditch Earth for Mars as soon as shit goes bad.
It's literally the backstory of "Elysium", except in real life.
No it wouldn't.Honestly that would be great if the people causing shit left we could start on the process of fixing the damage they caused.
Given how lazy and willing to cut corners our wannabe nobility have become, I can only see it ending with them yeeting themselves into our sun.They flee to orbit, and have the funds/means to do so in a realtive short time frame, if they just throw money at the problem.

Remember to play "Mr. Blue Sky" when they do!Given how lazy and willing to cut corners our wannabe nobility have become, I can only see it ending with them yeeting themselves into our sun.
