I get why so few Hollywood (and other influencers in entertainment, media, politics, medicine, military and academia) have not spoken out, they fear for their livelihood. What I still do not get is how few retired members of these influencer categories have stood up, it would be a pretty large voting block if every veteran of power who had a reasonable pension or money squirrelled away would man up and speak up.

They may have secured their own circumstances for the future, having inside knowledge of "the inevitable".

Someone with a terminal illness could do some good instead of posting a band-aid on their shoulder on social media.

I do not doubt that many have been silent for reasons of greed or fear but there are many, at least some, that are too rich or too old or too sick and descendant-less to be cowered.

Actually that last mentioned group should be approached to see if they actually want to help.
