This is an English translation of an article I wrote for a German magazine. The article looks into the post apocalyptic strategies the wealthy and ultrarich are focusing on. Main point: The rich are as afraid of the collapse of society as anyone else, but their means to face the calamity are on another level.
You know it’ll be fucking hilarious if it happened. These rich assholes are building bunkers and surrounding themselves with ex-marines and survivalists and they somehow believe they’re not the weakest link.
Money ain’t mean shit post-apocalypse.
Yeah, true. You can spend money on resources/people but once you’re there if you don’t have an Economic system there’s no reason to keep working for someone who’s money doesn’t exist anymore.
No, they are aware of that fact. See here: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prepper-bunkers-apocalypse-survival-richest-rushkoff
They wanted a way to ensure loyality of their mercenaries post-money.
