        I think you have that analogy backwards. The point was that the industrial proletariat stayed underground while the bourgeois regressed into the eloi bc they had built the overworked utopia and had no need to do anything. This is the literal way the rich.

      They’re safer going to mars or Venus. Once they are in their bunkers, there’s nothing to stop a whole lot of us from sealing the air intakes with concrete.
