And the rich have the rest of us bickering amongst ourselves about Team Red vs. Team Blue, and social media exacerbated this. News flash, if any of them actually cared, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Team Red has their side blaming immigrants and liberals for everything, while Team Blue has their side convinced that everybody on Team Blue is infallible just because Team Red exists.
while Team Blue has their side convinced that everybody on Team Blue is infallible just because Team Red exists.
I've found it to be quite the opposite. Team Blue opposes Team Red and half of the people on Team Blue too. It's split into all these different agenda and identity groups and they're all so very eager to tear each other apart with labels and accusations if you don't toe the exact line that's currently being drawn. It's a given that any time you have a large group of thoughtful individuals you're going to have some inter-group bickering. But Team Blue is more divided and combative against themselves than I've ever seen before in my lifetime.

Well they have been buying up the Hawaiian islands. I think Larry Ellis, Zuckerberg and few others have bought a ton of property on Lanai or Molokai.
At least that will give them a reason to actually do something about climate change. Those islands aren't gonna be paradise for too much longer with the more frequent and stronger hurricanes, and ocean levels rising.
I hope your right, but their previous behavior suggests this is a fuck you all, I got mine.
Gunnm, Elysium and all this kind of films are a reflection of reality.
Speaking of this, my amateur ass had an idea for a shelved sci-fi book where two people traveling through alternate dimensions ends up during one chapterin a world where the rich have fled theirs through dimensional travel. The idea of that world is that the remaining people on Earth fight to survive as the rich left behind devices that every so often go off and ends up destroying their natural or man-made structures and their farms too.
All of why this happened would be explained in a later episode where they find the rich people who explain they left because the resources on the planet dried up and they couldn't make any money off of a planet without resources.
Elisium. Great flick. Like all of Bloomy’s old stuff
You can try to climb to Zalem. Try is a key word.
3% on Netflix is really good. Definitely do the english subtitles instead of the dubbing though, it sounds ridiculous.
This is what the Soviet movie kin dza dza is about
