I mean, you need people to manufacture drugs and weapons and so on, too. Because rich people might want to acquire those things. And people might want to acquire those things in a way that is less tracked. And less tracked means moving back to cash (less of that all the time) so, uh, barter system?
We need people to be in gangs. To be prostitutes. To traffic drugs.
To traffic people. Children. Women.
It is important not to underestimate the needs some people have...

The whole 'alpha male strategy' was a temporary life-stage sort of thing. It's not at all a long term survival strategy. It's tied to life being nasty brual and short.
You grow out of it...
If you have the money to. Perhaps.
I don't know.
I suppose if people think that you are rich then won't assume that you must be for sale.
There's always that.
Perhaps...
There's, uh, largely *only* that.
