    The only people they care about defending are the rich and powerful. Aka, the ones that don't ever have to worry about their health.

    I mean... do the rich and powerful not breathe air and drink water? At some point this has to matter even to them, right??

    Don’t be silly, the air you and me breath is beneath them they dont live with the rest of us. The 0.5% have their own communities and sometimes islands. I bet the water they have is as clean as it gets and on top of that there is a water purification station in the second basement and multiple gardens to take care of o2 dispensing plants.
