What i think is funny is that the mega rich thing in a collapsed society they will be able to hold on to these areas? People... will just come and take it.
They'll probably hire some security to keep people out.
Ah. I should start a security business, then. It will remove the "finding the stuff" step from the "taking stuff by force" process.
And then they can acquire more land and spread out. And then they can let people onto their land and dictate laws about it. And then we're back to feudalism. Fun.
Why wouldn't the security people just take it then? in a time like that, clearly asking for help is a sign of weakness...going to someone stronger and begging to keep you in power? doesn't make sense.. in chaos people will _take_.
