Let's make our own Vault-Tec and sell the rich ~~tombs where we experiment on them~~ luxury vaults.
Composting the rich would reduce the risk of prion disease.
Not if it's like the chronic wasting disease in deer that they reckon is being transferred by prions taken up by plants.
Uh huh. And when the world goes tits up because of the class warfare you all are pushing, who's gonna do all the work in your luxury bunkers?
Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?
The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.
About as dystopian as you get.
It's a really good article if you want a read.
Yeah. The collapse of the Roman Empire led to greater army diplomacy, which became the underpinnings of European feudalism. Billionaires aren't going to stay in charge by having money, but leading an army.
But to do that they'd have to be not-inept though
You hire a bunch of dumb brutal apes. Feed them, and provide them with things to kill and rape.
And "the world goes tits up" doesn't mean that it's Mad Max or Fallout. Realistically it means the police and the military will be after you if the new ruling class wants what you have.
The staff, as long as they keep them fed and happy. (Probably gonna need to include their families)
Then there’s the 30-foot-deep moat with a swing bridge, the water canons capable of taking out helicopters, drones or skydivers, and the film of flammable liquid that can be automatically deployed across the surface of the artificial lake and ignited to create a defensive ring of fire.
what kinda rube goldberg home alone security system is that
the water canons capable of taking out helicopters
Is that going to be more effective than the guy in the helicopter with a gun?
no, and definitely-fucking-not not if that heli has ATGMs
These people are dumb fucks. Rich dumb fucks, but still. They wouldn't know how to maintain that equipment. In no short time it'd all be broken and worthless.
And any people that can maintain it have all the power and leverage. (I bet they hate that, as they desperately fund robot startups, praying they'll be ready in time. One can't simply "learn skills", unpossible!) These ghouls have already wasted billions collectively on their paranoia / fantasies, burying much of it underground to rot. Essentially because we did not properly tax them.
But who’s going to wait on them hand and foot when the world’s gone to shit. Seems like it’s just a big tomb to be raided at some point.
This is how fantasy dungeons are made, complete with a wealth hoarding dragon at the end
Post-apocalyptic tomb raiding, fuck yeah!
god i hope these fucks get eaten alive before they ever even see in the inside of their fucking vault
And I hope they need them
Is there a list of who owns these bunkers?
Wont the famous hacker 4Chan do something??
How about a list of the people who own/operate the companies that make them?
Por que no los dos?
To be honest I don't mind people scamming the rich.
where the family is safe plenty long enough for the police to finish their coffee and donuts.”
It's damn near a taunt
It will be like in some of the movies where these sit empty due to the rich being unable to make it to them in time. They will only work if they basically live there or travel there at every hint of a major problem.
geez I thought at first it was just their homes being skewed but nope its actually about bunkers. I think the wealthier I am the less interested I would be in surviving in a bunker from disaster.
