I find the looting and property damage stupid because there are plenty of Billionaires and Politicians to loot and property damage yet they primarily targeting cafes and shops.

    Yeah...that's not really possible?

    Oligarchs are very well insulated, both physically and financially. The nice part of town isn't full of billionaires. It's full of doctors and lawyers and other professionals.

    Even if you do manage to burn down a Walmart or something, chances are the financials are insulated enough that the Waltons won't even see a drop in net worth.

    One guy working alone found the United healthcare CEO. Imagine if 1000 worked together like they did to loot a small shop.

    One guy with connections and the cash on hand to put together a plan and carry it out.

    It's not impossible. But even then, most CEOs aren't billionaires. That one wasn't. The people sitting on the board of directors and majority shareholders are the billionaires.
