An interesting read from 2017 about how wealthy Americans, especially tech bros on the west coast, scramble to prepare for societal breakdown by e.g. purchasing “survival condos”. It features Steve Hoffman, a.k.a. u/spez of Reddit, who was quoted as saying:
Because when the world collapses we will definitely need a narcissistic disgraced CEO to survive the apocalypse... Someone should convince him to go live in his bunker now so we don't have to listen to his bullshit anymore
oh hey its my favorite greasy pigboy in the article
