Elites, the curse of recursion, and the half-life of policy

> I think part of the issue here is that the elites start at such a high peak, that even as they get worse and make the world worse, they're feeling the impact to such a small degree. Trump lost a lot of his dad's money, and his kids will lose more of his, but it'll probably not be until their kids (even with inflation dovetailing with elitism) where they may legitimately lose their status.

Agreed.  That's basically what @grayruby is wondering about, and I think you've got it right -- the financialization of everything means that, as unsavory as it may be, these dipshits are going to be living large even in a hyperbitcoinized future, unless they are truly, epically stupid.
