Cartier boss with $7.5bn fortune says prospect of the poor rising up 'keeps him awake at night'

So it's not the rampant misery of the world he helped create and run that is keeping him awake at night, but the fear of the unwashed masses stringing him up for it.

I'd love for this kind of person to spontaneously combust during a bout of explosive diarrhea.

Good. If you have a billion dollars you should never get a good night's rest because you're a piece of shit.

They’re all worried about this. That’s the point of living detached on private islands, yachts, and oil rigs. That’s the point of buying basically private armies and massive security forces. That’s the point of the propaganda machine.

They’re scared.

Don't worry, Mr. Oligarch, the peasants will always be too busy tearing one another down over petty social issues that the economic prison you own causes or exacerbates by design.

Your division propaganda machine is working as intended. Half of the working class is so deluded and confused that they'd take a bullet for a "job creator" like you. In most of this prison camp, saying an unkind word about the owner class will be met with ignorant ridicule and scorn. You're fine. You got us good.

If you want to worry, worry about the climate change your class caused wiping us all out. You can't bribe, divide, trick, or bargain with that.

According to Bloomberg, Johann Rupert told the conference to bear in mind that when the poor rise up, the middle classes won’t want to buy luxury goods for fear of exposing their wealth.

What a ghoul. He isn’t even concerned about his own welfare in the uprising. Just that he won’t be able to sell as much luxury goods.

Without advocating for violence, it should. History repeats.

Maybe try not to live your life like Smaug, and see if that helps.
