The Takeaway — Collapse Isn’t a Flaw, It’s the Plan
The rich are not scrambling to prevent collapse. They welcome it — because they know they’ll be the only ones left standing. While the rest of us are told to “sacrifice” and “tighten our belts,” billionaires are building bunkers, buying private islands, and hoarding resources for the dystopia they see coming.
These comments took the “bunker” concept literally. They’re not going to Saddam Hussein and hide in a hole. Jeffrey Bezos has a private cruise ship and his own private island.
Like a leech, they’re abandoning their host and moving to somewhere friendly. And we’re not able to get to them.
True, but the problems remain the same: No matter, how you hide out, what do these billionaires do when they have to fix issues? Who do they call when someting breaks? In a bunker, the water supply or the air filter can break. You need someone to repair it. Also, you need spare parts. On a boat a sail can get torn in a storm, or the engine could fail. Depending on the apolyptical setting, going to a harbor might not be an option. Here also, spare parts are needed.
What all these methods of locking away oneself have in common is, that this can be only for a rather short period of time, preferrably, as long as your supplies last. When being in a bunker or on a boat for, let’s say a month only, these assholes will even call it an adventure. But these billionaires assume that they can survive for years.

They’re literally building bunkers though. The bunkers are for literally going and hiding in a hole like Saddam Hussein.
