90% of the 10% will be doomed. The remainder, the 1% overall lives off capital not labor, they’ll be fine.

that is incorrect, the 0.1% (>50m) live purely off capital. the 1% are still mostly highly paid specialized labor and despite high savings their capital would not sustain their lifestyle outside a brief retirement.
