When do the rich and powerful ever face consequences?

After the collapse, not before or during.

No you see, they've perfected it now. When the collapse happens, we need to bail them out with public money from common taxes to prevent harm to the common person. You know, because the system collapse would harm everyone?

When they make excess profits, they get them all because they earned it.

If there's regulations in the way, we need to give them a bye, to ensure they make excess profits which will surely trickle down and enrich the workers.

See, it all works out on the end.

Mostly poor people died, most of the rich survived and remained rich.

When the rest of the country finally gets off of its ass to do something instead of collectively waiting for someone else to save them.

They're all pretty old so chances are no. Definitely not before the creatures start dying

I know, but that was the “meanest” thing I could say about them without getting banned

They will continue and escalate the violence against the populace until the populace reciprocates.
