There is a myth that floats around the internet that goes something like this...the elites will own everything while US serfs will own nothing and be happy. We will eat bugs, they will eat beef. They will enjoy access to utilities and US serfs will happily sit in the dark and enjoy the cold/heat. The elites will be the only ones with motor vehicles, we will ride buses as we are moved forcibly into 15 minute city's. The elite will enjoy surfing, skiing and all sorts of privileges that we serfs will not.
Now the reality...the elites will be nothing but targets. They will voluntarily place themselves in the fields of fire, or they will have to remain holed up to avoid being part of the target rich environment. In short, they will own nothing and be happy to draw their next breath. The end.
Traditionally, the elites did what they wished, and were not targeted by the majority of people. The USA is an historical anomaly. The founders built well, but checks and balances, the Bill of Rights, and Federalism have all been weakened.
The elites expect to rely on control of the information flow to program the population. They expect fleets of drones and robot warriors to protect them and enforce their proclamations.
