      Oh no, I was a billionaire now I’m slumming it with 700 million…

      More common: I am 65 years old and my retirement just imploded.

          Why do you think folks like Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison are pushing “law enforcement” and mass surveillance so hard?

          At least some of them believe they can credibly secure themselves against the masses easier than they can appease the masses.

      If only this only impacted them.

      The flow on effects of a major market crash are never isolated to just the stupid assholes building the bubble.
