    I hope Louis is being careful. There’s not as much protection in being public as there used to be. The billionaires know they’re essentially immune. I don’t think it’s too much to imagine anymore that he might end up deported, or disappeared in some other way.

      The billionaires know they’re essentially immune.

      Immune from what exactly? Their biology isn’t unique. They live in information bubbles surrounded by sycophants.

      Billionaires with their estates and servants (cooks, nannies, security, lawyers, brokers, PR staff, butlers, etc.) represent a huge attack surface and a very soft belly of capitalism.

      Billionaires are not like Trump who can lean on the USA’s first-tier state actor security, the US Secret Service (which isn’t even all that great as we have seen for ourselves, only human).

      Why are the billionaires building themselves doomsday bunkers? Because they feel scared or because they feel secure?

      This is not nearly as important as you think it is. If you ask 300 million Americans who this guy is, you would have some random kids knowing about him from YouTube. And that’s it.

      It just seems important because it’s in your fringe interest.
