The trouble is that people who are in established pyramid cartels, (eg the 
legal profession where members in legislatures make complicated laws that 
require the punters to employ fellow professionals to unravel), can afford 
cryonics.

Why can't people not in these established pyramids have their own pyramid if 
they wish? No one is forced to join them, any more than anyone is forced to 
become a lawyer or other professional.

"Pyramids" are a fact of life, some are just more visible than others.
