The fact that rich and important people have very good security - why is this at all relevant? Before the USSR collapsed, when was the last time a prominent Soviet politician was assassinated, a Soviet government building bombed, a prominent Soviet politician assaulted and left in the hospital? At least 200,000 Americans and probably a lot more have died in the last eight months, most of them completely unnecessarily. Waving this away as "economic instability" shows a lack of perspective. And over all hangs the grim spectre of the climate emergency, which we as a species are doing nothing to fix. Sorry, but as a civilization we are fucked.
