Everyone seems to forget that, they can just take their money put it into another country now while the usd still has value then dip after ruining this country to somewhere they'll be protected and we could never feasibly reach them, they already made interconnected bunkers just in case shit goes wrong during the blm riots (look it up many news articles at the time, they were proud of it, they fr said the peasants may rebel lets build bunkers)

Ppl have this delusion off guillotines and being able to get justice if shit goes wrong, like nah they are on their private jet gone to whatever country that isnt destabilized by them

The interconnected bunkers always weird me out.

They really want to live in a world where the bunker has the only surviving humans? Do they really think they'll be in charge when money is worth nothing at that point?

I forget which one of the ghouls was responsible, but I recall one of them looking up explosive collars for their hired security personnel.

JFC. I mean that sounds like it came out of a dystopian sci-fi novel or an old campy James Bond movie or something.

When you have billions and billions, a bunker is a sane bet. What's a top-end hideout cost? Let's go nuts and call it $100 million. Hell, I'd have one too.

"Hey Shalafi! We'll build you a badass SHTF bunker for $100!"

"Sure."

That's the kind of money we're up against.
