- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I dunno, seems like wishful thinking. Between AC, generators, mansions, bunkers, personal doctors, and being able to fuck off to safer parts of the world in a private jet on the slightest whim I don't think consequences will be suffered for them.
Maybe they get heat stroke while on some psychedelic retreat. More likely they just do stuff like that less often or do something else, and I sorta feel like the next headline will be some rich person mauled by their exotic pet instead. I guess they could also do something stupid with wilderness guides, too (I can already imagine the argument/prophetic-warning video posted online). Some sort of hubris. Maybe something involving their own product/service, like a rocket.
Or it may even be something more mundane than that, like choking on food with a) nobody around to help b) help not offered, or pushed away out of pride.
Even if consequences could be had normally, it'd likely be experienced by their kids or grand-kids instead (even more likely if they somehow don't turn out to be such terrible people).
Also, my first thought:
