Apocalypse Insurance

Have you ever considered the end? Not just the end of your own existence, but the end of everything, the end of life on Earth or the end of life as we know it. Some of us have, but most haven't. There is a class of people who are preparing for their own apocalypse though...

Of course I'm talking about the millionaires and the billionaires. The rest of us simply can't afford the complete final destruction of the world. The very rich, to be fair to them, have one more worry than the rest of us, and it's the rest of us. You see, we, the not so rich, only have to worry about trivial things, like a meteor impact, Yellowstone erupting or nuclear war. But the insanely rich also have to worry about us not tolerating their existence anymore. They have to worry about class-Armageddon, the day we pull out the pitchforks and go after the ones who have exploited us, just so that they can go on space-vacations.

If it's just natural disaster they're preparing for, they wouldn't need the arsenal of deadly weapons with which they intend to defend their expensive luxury bunkers. The 8 ton bast doors can withstand a 10 kiloton nuclear explosion, so once you're in and close the door behind you, you really don't have to worry about anyone else invading. Especially when everyone outside is dead. No, the defense mechanisms are there for one thing only; to defend against the angry masses with their pitchforks and their guns. Especially in our post-covid world the super rich have become more afraid of an apocalyptic event, be it natural or an uprising against them. Now we have so called "doomsday entrepreneurs" who make a lot of money selling these rich, scared people the means to survive such an event.

I'll keep it short today and just invite you to watch the two linked videos; especially the one that gives us a guided tour around the billionaire survival bunker I found eye-opening and frustrating. The damn thing even has a climbing wall, a cinema and a swimming pool made to look like a beach! I mean, they could have spent some of that money to help prevent the uprising they fear so much. They could have redistributed some of their insane amounts of wealth to appease the billions of people whose pitchforks and burning torches they see in their nightmares. But no. These people have become as wealthy as they are by not giving a damn about us, so why would they suddenly have a change of heart?
