Tech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers and hiring military security to survive a societal collapse they helped create, but like everything they do, it has unintended consequences

Just a waste of money imo. I understand why some people want to prepare for the "end of days" as people like to call it. But couldn't a simple bunker work fine? Why spend so much money on something like this? Maybe instead they could buy bunkers that can house thousands and more. Considering these billionaires have so much money lining their pockets, they could technically make a ton of smaller bunkers for man people to survive in, maybe even stock these bunkers with food and supplies as well. They'd still probably have enough money to make their own bunker.

I totally get being prepared, but this is going a little overboard. What are these rich elites going to do with their big as bunkers if the world is done for? It's not like they can use their money after an apocalypse or something.

There is a long held belief by the 1% that at some point, the masses will blame them and take their sh*t. They were buying up small islands pre corona and then the buying increased during Covid19. They have been buying up properties in New Zealand as well. Its an island, fairly gentle people, almost all white and hard to get to.

We’re getting very close to that point right now in the USA. The world is turning multipolar, the petrodollar is at risk, the economy is propped up by sticks and stones. It’s a bad time and I don’t blame them for prepping.

Live underground for 10 years and surfacing afterwards?

Elaborate prisons, that's all they are.

Majority of these people are billionaires because they exploited others in some way. They don't care about helping anyone unless they can get something out of it for themselves.

You know their stanking asses got some plan where they will all try to link back up after 10 years and try to dominate once everyone dies off.

The people who know how to grow food and survive will be on top. You think money will matter if everything burned down? These people will be the first to be fed to the wolves by the very people they hired to protect them.

It's hilarious, but when you have so much money you don't really know what to spend it on since you could afford anything.

In the end, all of these wouldn't stop them from dying. Once the reaper comes for them, all the bunkers in the world wouldn't help them evade or bribe death.

We all DIE sooner or later!!

Only if it's possible to pay death off whenever it comes? But that's not possible no matter how much they try. They can pay for the best medical care and all sorts of things but it's never going to keep death away.

I can see the majority of rich people having some kind of underground bunker, at least the richest of the rich, maybe a bunch of celebs and so on. If I could afford to have my own, I probably would too honestly. I mean it kinda sounds cool to have a bunker, but I would at least make sure to help more people in the process except just me.

I hope I'm prepared for the "End Times" but I'm going to bet I'll be dead before any post apocalyptic event happens.
