* A variation in ''Fanfic/WishCarefully'': After Franchise/HarryPotter and his allies decide ToWinWithoutFighting and surrender control of Magical Britain to the Death Eaters with all the Light-aligned and Muggleborns leaving the country, the Death Eaters' realize that their membership was comprised mainly of [[BlueBloods the old money elites]] and the shady criminal underclass while the middle and working classes (i.e. the business owners, producers of complex goods, and skilled laborers who helped maintain and keep the wheels of society turning smoothly) were primarily made up of either Muggleborns or the Light-aligned. As a result, the economy is gutted, much of the workforce is gone, and it's not long before things start breaking down due to a lack of regular maintenance, and none of the Death Eaters have the skills or knowledge on how to fix these problems. And while the more aristocratic Death Eaters had expected the Death Eaters in the lower social classes to fill out some of the gaps caused by the Light-aligned workers' exodus, it didn't occur to most of them that these minions had become criminals in the first place because they didn't have any useful skills and even if they wanted to improve that, they'd need training to perform those jobs and capital to start a business, neither of which occurred to the Death Eater nobility to provide. Thus, the Death Eaters were forced to rely on expensive goblin artificers to maintain their infrastructure.

** ''VideoGame/BioShock1'': This is one of the reasons Rapture of failed as a city - it was a city where the best and brightest could do anything they wanted without the city regulating it. Turned out the "best and brightest" didn't want to do anything to actually maintain the city, leading to its deterioration. As Frank Fontaine puts it in one Audio Diary:
--->'''Fontaine:''' Someone had to scrub the toilets.
