mazzi Chart Czar posted:A whole generation can be called rich, even if one person is super rich and everybody else is super poor. Years back, there was some stat showing the disproportionate percentage of wealth owned by Boomers. Millennials had something like 4% of the wealth and 3% of it was literally just Mark Zuckerberg. I’m sure there’s more now - for example there’s Jared Kushner! Rich people are scared as poo poo about mass uprisings, and they’re all building elaborate doomsday bunkers.

I bet at this point in the US, Zuck and Kushner own ~10% of millennial wealth, thusly the wealthiest generation

They should stop building their bunkers in New Zealand then, all in the same place. Couple of nukes and glow in the dark sheep later, Robert is your father's brother.

Millennials owned 4% of total wealth (in America I assume) and 3% of the total wealth was just Zuckerberg, leaving millennials who weren’t Zuckerberg with just 1%.

weg posted:The bunker stuff always cracks me up. I get not wanting to die in an uprising, but the correct choice is avoiding the uprising all together. How much luxury food could you possibly stockpile, a few years? In a global collapse an unpleasant death is an inevitably, but in your bunker you get to count the days accurately and watch it slowly approach lol The real question - how do you keep security loyal? Build robots? Whose going to maintain them? Other robots? what happens when you run out of spare parts? Seems like building a big fancy bunker is setting up your Head of Security as a post-apocalyptic warlord with more steps, although another is Zuck learning MMA because he's probably reached this conclusion.

Some dude found out most of his brain chip type funding came from rich folks who want to implant their people so they will be loyal. Only reason they fund it.

The best is they are building these on Hawaiian islands, a place with a history of murking unwanted outsiders! Zuck is being a total dickhead on Kauai, Benioff on the main island etc..

Someone once said that the premise of the show Doomsday Preppers is that no matter how much you think you have covered, there’s always one glaringly obvious thing you’re missing because you’re stupid.

Vampire Panties posted:The real question - how do you keep security loyal? Build robots? Whose going to maintain them? Other robots? what happens when you run out of spare parts? They enslave the local surrounding people and seize control of resources and dole them out to the security forces and make them knights who now have a reason to back the status quo as they've got theirs. Yeah the head of security taking power will likely happen and kings got overthrown by their own goons several times in history; but more often than not the inbred dipshits, many easily as dumb if not more-so than a tech-bro, stayed where they are. I think its a mistake to assume the people inside the bunker aren't going to come out and wreck/seize/tax things at gun point. Ronwayne fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Mar 2, 2024 |

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?

I can only imagine how slurred and hosed up Trump will sound after another 6 months. We are coming so close of to the dream of him just stroking out mid rally.

Rod Hoofhearted posted:That wealth transfer ain’t happening. People don’t just up-and-die anymore, they decline over years, and the medical system is there to nickel-and-dime them every step of the way. Yes this. The reverse mortgages haven't gone away either. For many that is their retirement. They weren't able to save, have little to no pension, and SS isn't enough to cut it. It does allow them to stay in their house and live out their last years in dignity but it also means the bank pretty much always gets the house and there is no wealth transfer at all to the kids or other surviving family. Even if they don't use a reverse mortgage and have some savings if they go senile and need a nursing home the costs are INSANE and eat up all the money so fast you won't believe it. Where I'm at just a ""OK"" nursing home is typically around $3k a month. And I'm really stressing OK there for a reason. The good ones are north of $6k a month. This means the house gets sold and all the savings eaten up fast once they go into a nursing home. The kids are largely going to get nothing. Hell the debt collectors these days still try to go after the kids for the parents' debt even though they're not supposed to!
