The Takeaway — Collapse Isn’t a Flaw, It’s the Plan

The rich are not scrambling to prevent collapse. They welcome it — because they know they’ll be the only ones left standing. While the rest of us are told to “sacrifice” and “tighten our belts,” billionaires are building bunkers, buying private islands, and hoarding resources for the dystopia they see coming.

This is the fucking insanity. I know people burying silver in their yard "for the day"

NO ONE IS GONNA GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SILVER COME THE COLLAPSE. The only thing that would be useful for is a werewolf apocalypse.

Oh you got a bunker to hide out in? For what? What's the next step? Until rescue? Until things "get better"? There will be no rescue and no recovery you will ever see. you will die in there like the trapped rat you are.

There’s a comic called Billionaire Island. Seems relevant.
