No. The elites believe that they will live as gods over what remains of the dirty and ignorant masses.
I think they have a vision of themselves living as in the glory days of Biltmore.
The Vanderbilt’s and their guests lived like royalty and the “lower class” served them, fed them and kept them warm.
A visit to Biltmore will impress you as to how much they admired and tried to duplicate the living conditions of European royalty. Much of the mansion consists of mantles, furniture and art brough over from European castles.
In short, they are dreaming the dreams of a child.
And that was a hunting lodge!
