    Well, I guess it’ll be funny when all the lower classes die off and the rich have to eat eachother to survive.

      I think groups of lower classes will likely murder the rich and take their shit long before the rich have to think about eating each other.

          Maybe we can convince them to go hide in their bunkers sooner rather than later, then we just concrete them in and forget about them

        Yes, that’s the plot of HG Wells’ The Time Machine. The rich evolve into beautiful but helpless and mindless little doll-people. The poor evolve into ugly, cunning, mechanically-inclined troglodyte people who hunt and feast on the doll-people.

          It’s been a while since I’ve read the Time Machine but I’m pretty sure the Morlocks didn’t hunt the Eloi so much as trained them to head underground for slaughter when they heard air raid sirens. Maybe I’m remembering the old timey movie more than the book.
