    I feel like in the olden days, when stuff like this happened people would form up into a miltia shaped mob, march down to the rich person’s house, and deal with the problem.

      I would do that but I cant afford to get to where the rich people live, it’s days of travel away cuz flying is a no-go for me these days.

      In the olden days that was not the case, and money/goods couldn’t travel that far either. You could torch the owner’s house cuz it was in town. You knew where they lived. It was accessible.

        That’s the best part: Global warming will eventually ix-nay the whole flying thing, and then the wealthy will have to outrun the poors.

          That’s why they have bunkers in NZ. I just hope it becomes apparent to their security teams that they do not contribute anything of value-- Assuming it happens before their fantasy of autonomous security.
