Futurology

Billionaires planning on going off planet to save themselves is a joke. Even if they built a bunker for themselves in a remote place is not practical.

Once our planets environment starts killing us, we're all unsafe. Billionaires might last longer but their military and security will kill everyone including their leaders once society break down. When civilization dissolves it won't matter if you tell people you're a billionaire. The survivors will be the ones who take over violently and kill everyone else to save themselves.

And even if you could plan on building a safe haven in space ..... you need tens of thousands of willing workers to build that and make it possible. As the world is falling apart, I don't think thousands of professionals will be dedicating their time to save just a few people knowing that everyone else is going to suffer and die.

That's the silver lining to all of this ... as macabre as it sounds ... no matter how rich or powerful you think you are, we are all equally doomed.

Even a burning earth will be a better place to live than the fucking moon. Especially if we could deal with the oligarchy problem, but still better than living in a cave and relying on the burning planet for all 90% of your basic needs anyway.
