Saturday

There'll be no-one to serve the billionaires
No-one to reap the crops
No-one to deliver the crops
No-one to cook for them
No-one to drive for them
No-one to wait on them hand and foot in their over-priced junk emporiums
No-one to buy their over-priced mech
No-one to "fluff" their egos

Except other vacuous billionaires like themselves.

They don't understand that at some point their billions become useless, and they're in the same boat as the rest of us.
