The corporation heads and owners will have to live in a nation they are helping to destroy, with no regulations on air and water, food, and that is the world they will help to create. They may be able to regulate the cleanliness of their own water, but their air will not be good. The climate will heat up and they may have air conditioning but that does not protect them from floods or fires that will be more frequent. They too will not get warnings of catastrophic events.
I remember how Ronald Reagan fired the air traffic controllers when they went on strike, and now the industry has never caught up to replacing them.
"The corporation heads and owners will have to live in a nation they are helping to destroy,"
No, they won't. Many of them are already living somewhere else, and doing business virtually. Even if they have to appear in person, they fly in, and back out again. They are parasites - the money is here, so they suck it out and invest it globally. As long as they get their bonuses and their investments pan out, they don't really care about a particular country.
There are those, but many do live in the USA. They may have other homes though. Wonder how many celebs with homes in other countries will be spending more time abroad.
I am under the impression that quite a number of billionaires, tech bros, hedge funders, and Fortune 500 heads bought property in New Zealand during the pandemic, and more have followed since - enough that NZ has instituted measures to slow or stop it. Sharon Stone, Ellen & Portia, and others have already said they're out (and own their expat properties already). Lotta offshore and private banks are getting flush with cash fleeing an economy soon to be led by people who have utterly no clue how an economy actually works.
