Some just want money.

I think this article: https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/23/17043978/uk-porn-age-verification-law-mindgeek

Is about pornhub’s parent company trying to lobby in favor of this because it thought it could make money by selling age verification. I read an article saying something to that effect quite some time ago, and I think this is the article, but can’t be sure because it’s requiring a login and the archive site isn’t loading for me at the moment.

“The destruction of capital—temples, palaces, manors, monuments, bathhouses, and wealthy properties—all disproportionately hurt the rich.” Though calamities such as disease and famine tend to bring greater harm to the poor, those who manage to survive the wipeout event, Kemp suggests, are left with “more bargaining power with bosses and landlords” because there are fewer people with whom to compete.

Ominous, given the current push for AI among the rich and powerful.
