To the persons who will be providing physical security: these CEOs are not worth your life. Collect your paycheck, and when the time is right, just step aside.

Mad seems like a really good vector to organise attacks on CEOs
I mean it's a bit of a perfect storm isn't it? You have a military set up to promote kids into a form of indentured servitude for college etc
Then after they've been chewed up and spit out they're often fucked over by veteran social services
Then you have this techbros uber app, which is promoting SAD/SOG/SWAT/SEAL kinda guys but we all know how slimey techbros are so chances are you'll get Bob who did 2 years in the cost guard coming to protect you.
Now if I'm vet who's been fucked over and I have the right credentials to get a job protecting the people who fucked me over, what do you think I'm gonna do?
I say give them a chance. I mean who needs qualifications anymore right?
This is where they find out that it is very difficult to tell the difference between apolitical bodyguards and anti-capitalists with a gym membership.
Better start cooking your own food and doing all of your own vehicle maintenance. There are soooo many more of us than them. We could eliminate them overnight.
What are they going to do, jump in front of a gun for $100 an hour?
I must be noble and protect the billionaire class
The sad truth is that this already exists and has existed for a very long time. The global "Security Consultants" industry is worth somewhere around $50 billion. Granted, a lot of that comes from like, shipping companies and such, but if you have the money, they'll protect you. Usually with retired or discharged veterans so they already have significantly more combat experience than whoever they're protecting from, especially not some rando who I contracted over my lunch break
How come Metal Gear Solid keeps being right about so many things?
Because kojima is from the future
Well, I guess it's time to start stockpiling piss grenades.
Take a bullet for a billionaire? Nah
Good, they should be scared. But I highly doubt an armed guard like that would prevent a proper dedicated attack. It only takes one bullet to kill a man, after all.
Sounds like an excellent way to compile a list of those with some reason to fear public retribution for their actions though
Targeting the armed guards is also easier and drives up the price of protection.
Then they get hacked and all of the scheduling and concerns are available publicly.
lol. good luck.
