It seems that a lot of billionaires enjoy underage sex slaves, and those are easier to come by in a crashed economy where people are desperate. Also easier to get organ transplants, allowing these ghouls to live well past their allotted lifespans.

Depends on what you mean by a complete crash. Equites crash, property values cave, massive unemployment, these are good for the oligarchs.

Now if the paper markets freeze or securities jump to double digits, they are looking at the USD losing (some of at least) its status as the reserve currency. That would hurt their fortunes on paper, but they would outright own enough physical wealth it wouldn't matter that much. And as you pointed out, they can just move somewhere else or live in fortified palaces and travel in armored cars or aircraft? This is getting a bit Gibson-eqsue now, a bit hyperbolic on my part perhaps.

I suppose that's what the crypto is for.

We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. LGBT rights and the rights of other minority groups are not some distraction. You can't ask someone to give a shit about economic inequality when they're fighting for their rights against discrimination in housing, healthcare, and employment. Those things affect minority groups a lot more directly than broader wealth inequality. You can create a socialist paradise that is still a Hell on Earth for queer people.

Really, really tired of this reality-defying both sides shit.
