    The rich are the ones that are stoking the instability though. Decades of pushing to make bribes legal, government only working for the wealthy, growing inequality, and they’re surprised all of that is causing popular discontent.

      “The rich” aren’t a monolith. Some are neutral like MLK’s favorite target the apathetic liberals, some are working on funding things they think will help some positive progress in the world, and some actively created (and are still creating) the poisonous breeding ground that led to the current apocalypse.

      But also, yes.
