Everyone always thinks they’ll be on the life raft. That they’re on the “inside” group.
History, statistics and economics would show the vast majority will not be, but they are willing to give up everything everyone else has, as well as risk all they own, to guzzle down the hopium that they’ll hit the jackpot and be even filthier richer than they already are.
The shoe drop and leopard face-eating is inevitable, as is the fact another asshole will immediately start claiming if we just give him all the power and wealth that will be the fix.
