    A repeat of the French Revolution is the real reason behind the bunkers of the ultra wealthy.

      An easy way to avoid anything like the French Revolution … or any kind of revolution … is to just feed people.

      You can do whatever you want, abuse people, jail people, arrest people, even start a war, build concentration camps and for the most part people will go along with it all, as long as you keep them fed. You don’t even have to feed them much … just keep them fed enough to keep them from rioting and revolting.

        Somewhere, somehow, those bunkers will need air intakes. Some potatoes to plug tubes, or mustard gas packets down the hatches … the problem is, bunkers make excellent prisons and/or tombs.

          The ultra wealthy also don’t do shit in their own and will be expecting at least a small team of other people to cater to them while they weather the storm. There is no future where the ultra wealthy get to keep all the things they have collected.

            You don’t realize how far gone some “house slaves” are gone down the rabbit hole. They have their chosen special ones. Who will do anything they want.

              They will, in all likelihood, involve counter measures like explosive collars.

              Or the one from Horizon. Surgically implanted “Off” switches that kil function implanted into sterilized individuals. Literally had the surgery center at the entrance to the bunker.

                What part of the device will do the killing?

                Would installing such devices make the news?

                What if an enemy did a mass triggering of switches?

                  In horizon the device was in your head from the moment you entered the bunker.

                  Would installing such devices make the news?

                  If you have to enter the bunker then the world has gone to shit. There is no more “news”.

                  What if an enemy did a mass triggering of switches?

                  Then everyone below the billionaire would be kill.

          Water is one of the most destructive things on the planet. Find where water is pumped out, plug it, flood it (or just let them sit in their own filth unable to flush a toilet)
