That strongly favours the rich & powerful as their situation means that they will be among
the last to suffer (never mind die) from the collapse.

Barring any additional external agency (*), the rich & powerful will be insulated from the
effects of the collapse: the cost of safe food, clean water, fuel will never rise above their
ability to over-purchase it, hoard it and waste it as they have always done in the past.
They will use these increasingly scarce resources (as well as plain money) to recruit and
retain their own private security/support staff.

They will face little danger until well after the general population has been "reduced".



(*) Not meaning ET or any deity of choice but simply that the only way to destroy those
self-selected "survivor" clans would be via biological "warfare" - weaponised or merely
virulent organisms that will overcome their strongholds before any viable response can
be brought to bear.
