Billionaires are openly building doomsday bunkers
Have you considered:
Billionaires may have already given up on stopping climate change
Their actions suggests, their priority for using their obscene wealth is to simply be on-top; when the ecosystem collapses

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Well, to be fair to them (lol), I think the bunkers they are building are not like a fallout shelter or traditional bunker for taking shelter during aerial raids
Bunker is definitely the wrong word, they are building more like an "Arcology" from Sim City 2000
"Arcologies are futuristic self-contained cities in one building" - Sim City 200 Manual
I feel so fucking absurd saying this, but like Fallout, a vault to live in long term
Still stupid for additional reasons

They didn’t give up they’re simply preparing for the consequences of their deliberate plan.
The shelters are an absurdity because climate change isn’t an event. It’s a transformation of state. There will be nothing to a emerge from for many thousands of years

@delProfundo But what could we have done sooner?
I personally find it difficult to talk about anything related to ecosystem collapse because people will just shut down (expressed in a variety of ways)
So starting sooner seems like it would have been an impossibility
And consider how intensely hard they have gone after "eco-terrorists" (real eco-terrorists are billionaires)
delProfundo
@ekis yep that’s what the robot dogs with guns are about. They know we’re coming. It’s just a matter of if we wake up soon enough (we didn’t)

@ekis No the greedy rich and their inability to share or change when knowing that their will be no more resources it'll turn into lord of the flies very quickly.If only the rich survive humanity will already be dead.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell But they are able to hoard, and its not like they need a supply of a specific brand of skittles, or hash-pen for generations, just, maximum few decades

The super rich or generatively unable to live without the supply chain for any period of time

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @MisuseCase One thing about mother nature, she doesn't need our allegiance

Everyone who has challenged the second law of thermodynamics has lost. And we are about to engage in the largest scale challenge mankind is ever undertaken.
Nature may seemed about last, but nature is always met the challenge of the second law of thermodynamics.

@ekis @GhostOnTheHalfShell Remember the Titan submersible? That was really illuminating about the mindset of people this disgustingly rich - they thought they could buy their way out of physics
she hacked you
@MisuseCase @GhostOnTheHalfShell Yes, I think about it a lot. You will see why when I start posting robots I have been building
My rule with submersibles, or vehicles in general, why do they ever need to be manned?

the acceptable solution (for us against the billionaire asshats) is laid out in The Future by Naomi Alderman

@ApostateEnglishman This is such a great post to add, thank you so much for sharing this
I hope to see you around more, and maybe because we are seeing each others post more, we talk more

@ekis Ah those "secret" billionaire hideaways!
Like the Doomstay Bunker in Kansas, 1325 Gold Rd #5, Glasco, KS 67445. A Cold War missile silo built in the early 1960s at a cost of $15 million. One of 72 "hardened" silo structures meant to withstand a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Bought for $300,000 in 2008 by ex-government contractor Larry Hall. Now a 15-story subterranean bolt-hole where up to 75 individuals can survive a maximum of five years.
It's right here. 👇

@DukeDuke I'm not exactly sure about the transition part, but the rest, in my opinion, is very unfortunately likely to be accurate
As with many other aspects of this problem, its very difficult to predict, so while I say I'm, not sure about a transition, I'm not ruling out the possibility
Wonder the sentiment "I'm old, I'm not going to experience" is behind this behavior. But I think having more examples certainly shines light on what motivates them, and its not the well-being of all peoples

@ekis and "on top" while hiding isn't on top. I think of the "doomsday bunkers" in Hawaii, and it's like yeah, during eco-collapse you're StUCK there. And your kids and grandkids possibly as well.

@StevenSavage Sounds like these could be fodder for a good, or funny short story.
If only I was a better writer ;_;

@landley I will read this, its is not very long but I bet it would scare most people.
You don't have to summarize it, I can do that, but perhaps tell us what made you think of that, is it something you wrote?
I guess I'm asking, what is your connection to it?

How to put it nicely.
Nobody yet has managed to produce a self-contained ecosystem hermetically sealed, especially not one capable of supporting humans.
Long term space exploration literally hangs on this, so this has been researched.
So #Naziboy managed to build a rocket to fly to Mars. There his crew gets fried by the radiation, and as mentioned, they need their groceries regularly delivered from Mother Earth.

@openbuddha Agreed, but everyone says this until about a year out from the election and then they just get sucked back in

@ekis @skry and water is wet. This was all clear years back.
