So. . . how much would it cost for the ultra-wealthy to instead make this world a better place to live for the rest of us, to avert this coming apocalypse?
A 3% raise in taxes to pay for a guaranteed minimum income for the poor? Admitting that global warming is real and we should do something about it?
Forget it!
Sheeeit, I got on of them to. Itâs my farm in Vermont.
While all yall motherfuckers are dropping from a lack of clean drinking water and shit like that Iâll be kicking back on my porch.

Keep posting, weâve just about triangulated your location based on your IP address⌠Thanks!
$35k actually sounds pretty cheap, considering what it would cost to set up a shelter of your own.
Of course, the big issue is that theyâre letting people in based on ability to pay, rather than useful skills or compatible personalities.
They kept the cost down by only using 600 thread count sheets
Meh, I donât think itâs that big an issue, theyâre rich, not insane, split among 80 people there will be more than enough labour to go around.
The only real issue I see is political organization, 80 people is the size of a tribe and even with a bunch of 4 person family units youâre going to have 20 people who are used to being in charge and have never met each other before. I can see a lot of trouble when they start sorting out the hierarchy.
Has no one here seen âThe Producersâ? They are just betting on the apocalypse being a flop.
Max Bialystock: You were saying that under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit.
Leo Bloom: Yes, itâs quite possible.
Max Bialystock: You keep saying that, but you donât tell me how. How could a producer make more money with a flop than with a hit?
Leo Bloom: Itâs simply a matter of creative accounting. Let us assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man.
Max Bialystock: Assume away
See, whatâs perfect is if we could convince these people the world is actually ending, theyâd all go and hide in their shelters until someone told them it was safe to come out.
I wouldnât be the first to give that signal.
The removal of 80 figurehead persons is not enough to change anything.
Some out-of-my-ass figures to âproveâ my point:
And for the rest of us:
Just after the big door clicks shut;
One percenter #1: So, where is the staff then?
One percenter #2: Staff?
One percenter #1: Yes, I need a drink.
One percenter #2: Um, I donât know. I thought you were in charge of planning.
One percenter #1: Uh huh, I put my man on it.
One percenter #2: Is he here?
One percenter #1: Of course not.
One percenter #2: . . .
One percenter #1: Hmm?
This isnât for the âsuper richâ or even the rich. David H. Koch isnt going to want to rub shoulders with 79 strangers when the apocalypse comes. And he can afford alot more than $30k.
This item exists (if it does exist) for the paranoid doomsday prepper of the middle- and lower-middle-classes. Iâm sure thereâs even an 120-month easy payment plan to get people to pay that 30k.
One question I have: Yes, the shelter boasts of âluxuriousâ accommodations (toilets! washer/dryers!) that rival high-class hotels. But who are going to clean those toilets? Who are going to do the laundry?
Iâm hoping Iâll be in the park with the pigeons.
I see nothing high class here. I just see middle class accomidations. iâd be more interested in the air and water filtration systems. Waste removal. Stuff like that.
Pretty sure this was the plot of the Kingsman movie.
Itâs definitely the genesis of all the Fallout games. Though I canât remember which particular Vault had the misguided wannabe millionaires in it.
