This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time. [More]Ah, the old "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" conundrum...
I'll bet every one of them would curl their lip if you mentioned the word "militia" to them.
Take heart, fellas. Your trophy wives will be allowed to live.

“They should be engaging with their security staffs as if they were members of their own family.”
Ha ha ha! Because that worked so well for 6,000 years of royalty, in which most of the threats WERE in fact actual family!
