Why do reviled rich people always go down like this?

If I were rich and had made a career out of pissing off over half the country...

I'd never give my opponents a day to celebrate.



I'd have it all planned out. When the Doctors said, "You're well past your expiration date" and we expect hospice in here next week or two... I'd hop on my private jet to somewhere secluded and die without a public announcement.

Of course, I'd juice it up. While I felt well enough and had the energy, I'd record hundreds of audio and video segments to further my presence into the future far past my assumption of room temperature.

I'd record audio segments for future release on topics that hadn't happened yet, but might. I'd record dozens of different Super Bowl and Word Series clips congratulating the winner of the '21 World Series and the '22 Super Bowl. I'd record endorsements for campaigns that didn't exist yet. I'd keep fucking with my opponents for YEARS.

It'd be pretty easy. Just let a few loved ones know what was happening and have someone controlling the appearance of continued life.

Disappearing would be easy. Fly into somewhere like Bangkok (flight data is a tattle-tell) and hop on a yacht to some island near Thailand/Indo/Philippines. Have a few Med staff with you, sworn to secrecy and bribe a local authority to let them drop you in a hole in the Jungle.

Rich people have NO IMAGINATION.

Hell, with Deep Fakes... you could even record post-mortem videos.

If I were filthy rich, I’d make sure my kiddo had what he needed and I’d give the rest away.
