The only reason that people are living on Fisher Island now is because it can get a constant stream of stuff to consume. If there ever was a shtf it's pretty much indefensable and un livable. Which makes me wonder where the ultra-rich have planned to go in case something ever happened? If I had to guess, and start looking around, I'd check the plains and the mountain ranges. Because a lot of their "defense" would probably have to be that it's just un-reachable by the masses.

The ultra rich already have purpose built bunkers in Iceland and Sweden and poo poo, and because they cost so drat much to build they're all publicly searchable. Like where they are and also who owns them. iirc Peter Thiel has 2 of them pretty close together and a bunch of other tech billionaires own bunkers in the same area https://twitter.com/vino_freakism/status/1237959739025149952 EDIT: it was new zealand bring back old gbs has issued a correction as of 01:25 on May 17, 2020 |

Like where they are and also who owns them. These popped up because our previous government introduced a resident visa for rich people. It was called the "entrepreneur visa" and required people to bring and invest $10m NZD for five years (or something similar, I can't remember the exact details). That's how we ended up with a bunch of rich assholes building their boltholes down south.

It would be a shame if they lied or omitted relevant information on their their visa or citizenship applications.

Sekenr posted:What I don't get about the elite of this world, is how don't they understand that people like Corbyn or Sanders are actually their only hope? Because even if they make their life more difficult they will not put them against the wall. Othwerwise when the wagon crashes down and new bolshevik revolution happens, there will be no discrimination, everybody with money dies, revenge, just like it happened in Russia. They don't believe the wagon will ever come crashing down, and in fact, they've invested considerable time and resources into trying to ensure it never happens. Corbyn and Sanders aren't a threat because of their policies, they're a threat because they're people with significant platforms who are willing to say "maybe being rich...bad?". That flies in the face of the decades of media manipulation and propaganda that the rich have devoted to banishing that concept from the public discourse.

I love this article. Yes, billionaires who are too loving stupid to figure out how to cook for themselves or do their own laundry will be able to repair a fleet of sophisticated robot servants ad infinitum. The loving arrogance and lack of self-reflection is staggering. Extreme wealth is a mental disorder whose only cure is removal of the affected organ.

I like talking to my barber, they usually have something interesting to say, like the time they asked me if I had ever heard of Travis Alexander, a guy who'd been stabbed to death in the shower by his ex girlfriend who took before and after pics. Turns out I'm almost identical in appearance pre murder and now I have a pic of what I'd look like if I was about to be stabbed to death in the shower! Thanks barber!
