Some unconventional surprise,... Mohnish Pabrai likes Pres. elect Trump

Yes.  Uprisings will happen, justifiably, when basic needs like food are not available.  They won't occur over someone else having a better TV.

 

Umm, Syria?  Lebanon?  Iran?

 

Those weren't uprisings but US/France financed proxy wars with Russia.

LOL!

That said, I shouldn't be too flippant. I did ask why anyone believed the rich wouldn't be killed, and you gave me an excellent explanation.

 

I appreciate you explaining your own point of view of how the world works, since I sincerely didn't understand why anyone would believe that you can increase wealth inequality to extreme levels, and not expect the vast majority to react in dramatic--and eventually violent--ways.  Now I think I understand your point of view.

 

Thanks.

The stateless corporations issue is an interesting one. Outside of a world-wide government, I'm not sure how you deal with that.
