This is the such a silver lining take I never would have thought of. Well done.

No they won't. The answer remains hard vore.

I honestly don't think so. I don't think they care of the condition worsen, including theirs as long as they stay above the poorer people.

Like, if we look at the living condition of a medieval era king. You live in a stone castle do your bedroom as freezing temperature in winter, terrible healthcare so you might be in terrible pain for things that easily treatable, no hygiene the smells everywhere must be horrible... Compared with the comfort of a normal person in a developed country. ( Not the US though, now like Denmark or Switzerland) the modern life is clearly way more comfortable.

However I suspect that a lot of people, especially richer people would prefer to be the king, despite the conditions.

They'll just build a space city just for them and live for ever up there

If this take is anything like whales with stock they’ll just jump ship onto the next country/planet to start over it’s a never ending cycle

A lot of the rich/ultra wealthy are selfish and don’t give a fuck unless it directly affects them so I don’t foresee any accountability if the planet Implodes instead they’ll just fling their money at the next thing that buys them a ticket out of here
