    Yeah even after Luigi shooting a CEO nothing happened. Even if a revolution happened these people would just go to their luxury underground bunkers to wait it out.

      I mean, looking a bunch of billionaires in a luxury basement for the rest of their lives would be something resembling a consequence. I would actually be fine with that.

      Would I prefer they get the Jack Ma or Hui Ka Yan treatment? Absolutely. The Louis XVI treatment? For a few of them, definitely.

      But it’s so far away from “Renting out Venice to celebrate my marriage to my favorite concubine” that I’d take it

      For them the near-term danger is coming from inside the house so to speak. The political monster they created that is now seizing absolute power will turn on them, first the disfavored that will be prosecuted and have their assets seized. Before long seizing assets will be the end initself.

      The judiciary will be owned by the accusers, and the parasitical parts of our economy will be in league with the government.

      Our productive companies will fall. Which will further damage the economy, further encouraging taking of assets from others.

      When Society fully collapses Security Services will continue on in this vein and in the highway robbery.

        How is it turning on them? They get tax cuts and less business regulations. Who has had his assets seized?

          We are still at consolidating power phase with a propped up economy, after the economy falters when they are fixed in power that will start in earnest.

          If they keep bringing the military into domestic affairs they will subbordinate civilian leadership at some point as well.
