I agree with this . If our modern way of life is a large steak , there is still a lot of gristle and fat that can be cut before you start getting into the good meat . The problem is that yes whilst the elites will just relocate , the poor , who are swelling in number , simply can ' t do that . Elites will be able to hold out against collapse perhaps indefinitely as they have the resources and the wealth to adjust as necessary to protect their positions . But for the masses of poor who lack those resources , collapse will come soon or maybe already has , and there is usually no coming back from it . <| sep |> Because I ' m the hamburglar .
