the reality is that the poor and downtrodden masses will suffer - as is the case when you look back through history. it has always been this way. why should that change because you're alive? what do you contribute to the equation to alter it in any meaningful way?
some small minority percentage of humanity will survive (the wealthy 1st world nation's citizens) - probably in bunkers or perhaps in orbit - and after things "cool off" they will repopulate the world. you can see the faint beginnings of this starting now, if you look close enough.
You do know you are not that small minority, right?
your point being?
the wealthy don't know how to live within their means or how to build a supportive community or to adapt to a drastic loss in lifestyle quickly. the poor have been already.
