Right?! At the end of the day, they're still just people. Gotta eat, gotta sleep, gotta shit. I will never understand how any individual gets so much money/power/attention because they're all just god damn people and in the event of a catastrophe i imagine they would be about as helpful as any other random human. They aren't gods, and they certainly don't deserve the stratification. It's not like they're enlightened or something, most of the time they're just sociopaths who are rich, clever, and/or connected. When you get a glimpse under the hood at moments like this, it really is kinda jarring. Helps to dispel those silly presumptions about them at least.
