It’s probably once again a bad time, historically speaking, for archdukes to ride in open convertibles.

@qurlyjoe @mattblaze Maybe the modern equivalent would be if anyone would start a conflict over an assassinated billionaire? Is the money powerful enough to push a conflict to protect the super-wealthy and render them forever untouchable. On the other hand, perhaps WWE ('World War Epstein') is it?

@irix
I expect any self-respecting country (smirk🙄) would leap at the chance to go to war if it were to benefit a local billionaire. So yeah, Trump would fall over himself for something like this. Putin’s penchant for tossing billionaires out of windows suggests a Russian one wouldn’t be the ideal target.

They'll still do it, though. Archdukes always think they're bulletproof.
