No, I am not at all. I am sure Bush will keep a pad in Texas, maybe fly
in some Paraguayan water if need be. I merely take note of the fact that
they are prepared for the shit hitting the fan. They have found a new
well, now that they have poisoned the old one.

I might just respond that you are underestimating the mobility of the elite.

Also, how do you so easily project your preferences and placeboundness
into the elite? Maybe they are aliens from a difference planet - that
could somehow explain their disregard for the rest of humanity - and
therefore embody completely different emotions and feelings. I have no
idea what they are like, they seem very far from my reality, and what
they are going to do, how and why, I have no idea, except that we are
going to pay for it, of course.
