Broke vampires? Seriously? Is that even a question? You have mental powers to beguile your victims. You can literally kill them, rob them, and turn into mist to get away. He’s right, if a vampire is broke, they’re too stupid to continue to be undead.

Now a Dolly and Elvira movie would be funny as heck.

Hmmm. Let me see if I can get my state rep to propose a bill banning immigrants from California, with an exception for those applying for asylum from globalist marxism.
Your costs of living are low (hopefully not violent), and you can easily acquire desirable properties and assets at low prices, as well as being able to invest in interesting businesses. You also can collect interest.
It is hypothetically plausible for vampires to trend too savage, or too insane to diligently review and manage their investments, or to consistently not throw it away on stupid stuff.
There are a couple of conflicting arguments. There are often owners of large buildings, and/or associated with managing real estate in fiction. They are often owners of decaying large building and other real estate.
The “uncontrollable savage immortals” is where external control via the Buffy phenomenon, but I also recall reading vampire fiction at some point where vamp society itself sets up enforcement mechanisms, so any vamps that go off-reservation are sanctioned or imprisoned, and any that go mad enough to endanger all of them getting judicially staked.
I suppose such a culture would pay pretty close attention to signs of detachment or neglect of properties as early warning for “vampire going nuts” incidents.
So would they specifically turn a human detective to get investigative expertise in house to work those beats?
Most immortal fiction has enforcement mechanisms, regardless of the type of immortal.
What is interesting with current fiction is the impact of hardening of identity and inheritance. In some ways inheritance made easier in that non-revocable trusts, which by definition, if properly managed, are immortal. Identity OTOH, can’t just move somewhere else, and show up with a new identity as easily.
“showed that in the first Highlander movie. And I guarantee you that with AI the problem has not lessened.“
–
Yes. One of the situations I was alluding to. Been evolving at least since ’50s if not before. Yes, cameras being as wide spread as they are and AI, is making it worse.
Lie low in the middle of nowhere, won’t always work either. At best it turns the community into an open secret in circles not immortal. Briggs example where werewolves pack approached by blackmailers. Some of the blackmailers could just “disappear”, some from government. Where the government knows there is a Marrok (leader) but can’t quite pin down who.
Even being extremely wealthy didn’t help the two immortals in Rogue Angel. Both mention almost being staked as vampires (they are not) in early 20th century. Both complain, although both use them for security, about the wide availability and use of cameras and AI. (I miss not being able to get the new stories in e-book format. Won’t buy the new format type … Sorry for the mini-tantrum.)
Oops. “Out of the ’50’s”, I meant for the fiction written since the problem has been noticed. Authors seem to notice, and ask “when would this have started?”
And it just occurred to me that up until just recently, SLR cameras viewfinders worked through a mirror. I don’t recall any story with photographers looking through their viewfinders and seeing a gap, but looking up see a well dressed dude in a cape.
One of Ryk Spoor’s characters realized a character was missing from a photograph thus had to be a vampire.
Mind you, the person actually taking the picture was another vampire and didn’t mention the “missing person” but that was because the picture taker wanted the first character to “get in trouble” with the first vampire. 😉

“Dang. This is the third law specialist agent I’ve lost to DefenceConGlomInc. They must have to chase a bunch of dirty lawyers or something….” “Senator Grabbah on line two. Sounds pizzed about something” “oy vey…”
David Weber and Chris Kennedy set up vampires as almost a deus ex machina in Out of the Dark but as the series progresses (it’s a lot of fun, btw) we learn vampires are not supernatural beings, though their origin is still a mystery. (They also don’t have to drink blood).
However, a small percentage of vampires go psycho and become the vicious butchers of legend and in that case, the senior vampire…takes care of them.
One of the Calahan’s Bar stories by Spider Robinson featured an immigrant vampire who got his blood from NYC blood banks, and wound up an alcoholic because of the number of winos donating blood for money.
I wrote a fair amount of Babylon 5 fan fiction for my and my friends’ amusement and my viewpoint character was a 20th century vampire and devout Christian. Once Brother Theo and his monks arrived she was able to sub communion wine for blood.
Roughly, this Catholic man kept encountering this older priest (he knew the priest and the priest never seem to get older) who talked with him about entering the priesthood.
The Catholic man always gave valid reasons for not entering the priesthood but finally decided to enter the priesthood.
The last line has the new priest drinking the communion blood. 😉
Re the political spectrum: Heinlein said it first, and better:
“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”
On the policies supported by Democrats: remember they did many of these things long before the nazis ever thought of them. The KKK precedes the SA by 70 years or so, for examples, as do their laws disarming “unfavored races”.
The business with “Manos, the Hands of Fate,” must be a really common pun. I’m pretty sure the Legion of Superheroes had a villain named Manos (and yes, he had a hand that could destroy almost anything) before 1993.
Given the utter ineptitude of every aspect of the film, I object to calling it a pun. Did (fertilizer salesman) Hal Warren know that “manos” meant “hands”? Yes, undoubtedly. But to credit him with wit is to speculate in the face of a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
Buckeye by birth, so you get a like. The Nega-Ohio portal, by the way, is about halfway between the Serpent Mound and Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson AFB. I’m not saying it means anything, but I’m not saying it doesn’t, either.
I used to be able to sit under the high tension lines as a kid and hear them hum. And yes, the hum did change over time. You could also see the lines dip when a surge went through and increased the magnetic field. Really kind of fascinating even today.
They have computers now that identify acoustic signatures of stuff like gunshots, lightning, wind damage, etc. They also have temperature sensors for things like fires.
I was really interested. I’ll try to find a link to the presentation.
“Invited Testimony: Advanced Transmission Technologies.” It’s the third company along that had the stuff about the weird conductor lines (which technically are ten-some year old technology, but I hadn’t heard about them).
Oh gads, “environmental racism.” Better known as “poor people live close to the factories and stuff, and employees on a budget try to live close to work because commuting costs, so they are closer to the soot/steam/sounds/flares/what have you.” Toss in lack of skills, as well in some cases as de facto if not always de jure segregation (blacks, Irish, Italians, Chinese) and voila. “The racist industrialists made minorities live in the polluted places!”
Granted, there were a few really bad apples who deliberately dumped waste and such in places where they knew the residents couldn’t afford to complain (or to hire lawyers).
On another public TV channel, there was a documentary about turning the Adirondacks into a big NY State park in the 1970’s. It gradually became clear that the POV was that of people basically ruining prosperity in big swaths of upstate NY, so that they could ‘save’ nature.
So we changed the channel to power company testimony.
