guy on tiktok pointed out some billionaire bunker plans have STAFF like they dream of a post apocalyptic future where they're still being waited on by people. goodbye. imagine having to work in someone's bunker i'm fucking killing all of us 😃

Some people have run thought experiments on this wherein when those bunkers actually go into use, the (class) status of everyone inside effectively means nothing. If you have a staff or security detail with you in the bunker, as soon as those doors are locked you are getting jumped and ripped to shreds unless you have some INSANE high-tech contingencies that run on pure fantasy.

"Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.

This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?

The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”."
