I'm pretty good at the motorcycle stockpiling myself. Just ask my wife lol

The rich would rather live in an apocalypse than let workers have some more of the wealth that the workers themselves have created.

I say that when the billionaires retreat into their bunkers we should all cover the entrances and vents with a couple hundred layers of concrete.

Electric motorcycles? Do preppers have an understanding of how gasoline absorbs water from the air and is substantially worse within a matter of months? Even with stabilizer, you get a few years out of it, tops. What are you going to use for the rest of your life?

To be fair, the writers of post-apocalyptic Hollywood movies don't understand it, either.

I don't remember who said it, but I think about this comment a lot:

All these billionaires would rather spend their wealth building bunkers for when their actions cause social collapse, instead of trying to prevent social collapse in the first place.

If your way of making money makes you really fear people will be mad at you, you should be asking yourself what's wrong with your way of making money. That is, if you care. But if you don't care don't whine.

I would like for them to find out the hard way that the characteristics to be a leader in a Neo-liberal capitalistic society are not the same in an apocalyptic wasteland.

And by hard way, I mean that they would be made the fucksock of charismatic warlord.

I read a book called Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven many years ago about a comet hitting the Earth. There was a scene in the book, after the impact, where a rich guy manages to finally reach a place up in the mountains where he has supplies stashed, only to find that his employees have claimed it for themselves and won't let him in because he's basically useless in the new world of survival.

If you were working for Huffman or Musk or any of the rest of them, and a there was a huge society ending disaster, would you let them in when they showed up or would you just shoot them down with their own guns? I know what I would do. I can't imagine anyone letting them in.

The really funny thing about Spez is that he's far from a power player in the tech scene, nowhere near the likes of Musk and Zuckerberg. But he so desperately wants to be that he actually just looks sad and pathetic in the process.

Wtf is he going to do with his stockpile of motorbikes during the apocalypse? Start a Mad Max biker crew? What a fkn loser lol.

I always find it funny that people imagibe that in an apocalypse a modern fossil fuel vehicle would be any good. Unless you know how to modify the engine to use realistically self-producable fuel you will be able to run it for only a few months before all the fuel in the world degrades and starts destroying/not running the engine. Better off getting electric vehicles as electricity is actually easy to produce.

at least we know who to rob.

Hilarious and sad considering those techbros are creating the conditions for a possible economic collapse, such as playing with creepto.

Oh yes, kinda reminds me of reading a chapter in World War Z (the book with its dark comedy is still more entertaining than the humorless movie), like how one character found himself on an island full of rich people... Guess what happened next?

It's ok, they're gathering supplies for the people. Once things start it'll all be in one convient place to take.

The first thing people will do when society collapses is head to where the billionaires live to raid their stockpiles.

Would rich people want to live in a world where there is no one else to enslave?

Just collecting shit for badder men really. Dumb.

Where are you getting the gas, Steve? Gas is only good for a few months in storage without treatment and a couple of years with it. Have you never read a fucking book?

Multiple motorcycles? What's he gonna do, ride them all at once?

Self fulfilling prophecy

The crappy thing, is that while they plan on a possible collapse of soceity, they could just as easily plan on what to do about all the displaced workers created, by all their technical solutions seeking problems.

People are crazy and we are ruled by the crazy

Bunker boy should be the first to go into hole

That would be a nice vault to loot.

Rushkoff wrote a book about consulting for these billionaire peppers.
