I say that when the billionaires retreat into their bunkers we should all cover the entrances and vents with a couple hundred layers of concrete.

They're just building latrines for future civilizations.
There are things called bunker busters too
Those are too fast. I prefer to let them rot.
The rich would rather live in an apocalypse than let workers have some more of the wealth that the workers themselves have created.
Electric motorcycles? Do preppers have an understanding of how gasoline absorbs water from the air and is substantially worse within a matter of months? Even with stabilizer, you get a few years out of it, tops. What are you going to use for the rest of your life?
To be fair, the writers of post-apocalyptic Hollywood movies don't understand it, either.
Create your own gasoline refining plant in your bunker and crank out fuel as you need it? Should be fine because motorcycles don't use a lot of gas. But you would think if you had tons of money you might put some solar panel stuff in storage as well just in case
Could always set up a refinery of sorts.
And while gas absorbs water from the air, I'm sure there is an expensive way to if not outright prevent it, than slow it down way more than current mass adopted storage.
Off the top of my head i imagine some sort of giant glass tank involving vaccums and check valves would at least extend the usable life by a fair amount.
And while there are a lot of popular motorcycles whose gas mileage is little better than a car there are also a good amount with amazing gas mileage.
There's also the possibility of converting the motorcycles to alternate fuel sources like propane or natural gas.
Or as these people are just rich assholes indulging in their fantasies they may really take their cue from movies.
I always find it funny that people imagibe that in an apocalypse a modern fossil fuel vehicle would be any good. Unless you know how to modify the engine to use realistically self-producable fuel you will be able to run it for only a few months before all the fuel in the world degrades and starts destroying/not running the engine. Better off getting electric vehicles as electricity is actually easy to produce.
A bicycle isn't a bad thing to have in an apocalypse. Not difficult to maintain, considerably faster and more efficient than walking, basically no infrastructure required.

I would like for them to find out the hard way that the characteristics to be a leader in a Neo-liberal capitalistic society are not the same in an apocalyptic wasteland.
And by hard way, I mean that they would be made the fucksock of charismatic warlord.
fucksock
This is my new favorite image

Hilarious and sad considering those techbros are creating the conditions for a possible economic collapse, such as playing with creepto.
Oh yes, kinda reminds me of reading a chapter in World War Z (the book with its dark comedy is still more entertaining than the humorless movie), like how one character found himself on an island full of rich people... Guess what happened next?
If I remember correctly their bodyguards turn on them and kill them in their bunkers.
A parallel, similar would be ghandis govt in the 70s, was murdered by their own bodyguards because the pm was targeting sikh people for persecution.

at least we know who to rob.
Would rich people want to live in a world where there is no one else to enslave?
Waiting for robot slaves, assuming they don't follow the path of cylons
Self fulfilling prophecy
That would be a nice vault to loot.
It's ok, they're gathering supplies for the people. Once things start it'll all be in one convient place to take.
People are crazy and we are ruled by the crazy
Bunker boy should be the first to go into hole
thiel, musk, bezos, altman, they have thier palaces, complexes much like putin does.
I'm pretty good at the motorcycle stockpiling myself. Just ask my wife lol
If you're in a bunker how many places can you ride your guns? Realistically.
They’re just preppers who happen to be wealthy. They’re no different than the poorer preppers who blame a CME or some nefarious plot that will catastrophically disrupt the world.
The only difference in their echo chambers is money.
The crappy thing, is that while they plan on a possible collapse of soceity, they could just as easily plan on what to do about all the displaced workers created, by all their technical solutions seeking problems.
