So just figure out who’s on the security team. They can have their minds changed.

I wonder what companies provide such services. Is it more private army like Blackwater or some regular VIP security company.
ushmel@piefed.world 7 months ago
Firms like Blackwater usually start as private VIP security. Gotta build that rep.

The more goons, the more potential holes!

Here’s hoping they keep living in fear.

All those tech tools and they still have to hire humans to make them safe. Hope the help don’t turn on the greedy tech bosses /s.

“I could create a better, safer world for myself and everyone else, building genuine goodwill from my fellow human beings… nah. I’ll just triple-down on the alienation and paranoia.”

They like having the monetary high score too much to ever give it up and make any changes that would hurt their score. On the contrary, they’ll change things to increase the number and call it winning in the game of life. The people complaining about it are just annoying inferior bugs to them.

The number of private security firms the FT has been able to interview tells its own story, and their backgrounds too: experienceD, skilled staff leaving the FBI to set up business as entourage for our new feudal overlords.
People are losing faith in society as having anything approaching meritocracy. Rising to the top is no longer credible. And it’s not just security spending, it’s all that work on their mythos and origin stories promoting the idea that they are ubermensch.

It fails because there is a top.

Think how truly life changing it would be, if $1m just popped into your bank account one day - you could pay off your mortgage, buy a new car, start a business, or take your family on a vacation to remember.
Mark Zuckerberg could do that each and every single day of the year…
…36 times over…
…just from a 5% return on his current net worth!

And if you worked from 16 til retirement (67 ish in more and more countries), 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, having a few weeks off…
and earnt $1,000,000 (1 million) an hour – you’d still not have earnt 1/3rd of what Musk has.
