    I’m sure the 1% will spend all the money they’ve hoarded to save the rest of us when the world is on fire at the last possible moment, right?

      Some have already been spending money building climate/fallout shelters in New Zealand, then stuffing them with provisions and hiring personnel to guard them. When the moment comes, it’s just a quick private jet trip, and the world can burn.

      Others, like world leaders (Putin, Erdogan, etc), have expanded their palaces and residences with underground shelters for a similar purpose. They’re already ready for the world to burn.

        Tbf The ultra wealthy have always made personal bunkers. I think the entirety of peanut island in Florida was a fallout bunker for Reagan.

        Well, I hope they can somehow convince their security guards to remain loyal enough that they’ll fend off the inevitable guillotine carrying mobs.
