If us Kiwis had any class consciousness whatsoever we'd have an armed mob waiting for these parasites at the airport to "deport" them (from life ideally)

They've been moving there since like 2014. How's it going so far?

We recently elected a government led by a wannabe 1%er so worse than Australia but better than the US.

Nah, just keep adding shovels full of dirt until the vents are fully blocked. When they come up for air, snick off their heads and clear the vents. Free bunker!

Your forgetting to make it smell awful before you cut off the air. Gotta make it suck so much to stay down there that the other billionaires learn and flee beforehand. Less work and more free bunkers

Always remember kids: A bunker might save you from a nuclear detonation. But it will not help against an angry mob with Oxygen torches and pneumatic hammers.

Wouldn't waste our resources. Just seal up the door with concrete and walk away.

One of the guards hired for these bunkers "joked" that if shit ever went sideways they'd just kill the billionaire and take the bunker for themselves

Yeah they really think that the security forces are going to remain loyal to them when society collapses and currency no longer has any value. Like, they could live in a bunker, or they could live in a bunker with your whiny spoiled ass. Figure it out.

I'd rather die in nuclear hellfire than live in a hole for the rest of my life.

The billionaires can have their hell on earth, I'll take the express ticket off this rock.

I bet he's got a mate with a bobcat/mini digger too.

"Hey Jonesy, give us a hang with this job Saturday!"

I recall an article at most 3 years ago saying they're researching control collars for the guards.

It's probably going to be built to be as self-sustaining as possible. (Except Elon's, because he almost certainly insisted on having final say on the design.)

e: Anyway, you put the concrete on the door and the ventilation.

Humans do not currently have the technology to create long term, self-sustaining closed ecosystems.

No one on earth has successfully created one, and biodome was cut short due to private equity buying it out and basically forcing the project to shut down.

The billionaire bunkers may be designed for long term survival, but they will have a finite amount of food at least. Water can be replaced via wells, electricity can be generated with SMNRs(if the billionaires even own those), and food may be able to be supplemented for a while with grow lights, but eventually the soil will deplete due to not having a sustainable ecosystem.

All we have to do is poor concrete in front of the entrance and wait.

That's excluding killing their air supply which is traditionally how you force people to evacuate bunkers sans bunker busters or heavy bombardment.

While technically "finite", the term takes on a different meaning when you consider the scale of resources they control. It would take an infinitesimal fraction of $400B to buy enough dried goods to last a generation or two. I don't want to wait that long.

They probably have a lot of food and water and cultural treasures of the world in there tho.

Good they'll have something to keep themselves entertained while we look for air vents and possible communications channels to cut. Found out recently you can do some crazy stuff by dragging an anchor around with a cargo ship

Actually do you think there's any way we can can get them in there a little early?

Wasn't Mad Max Australia? Neither group likes to be confused with the other.

You missed the word style. As in "in the style of the thing"

Also we are not groups. We are countries.

Most of Australia already is a literal Mad Max style wasteland, they didn't dress it up for the movies, it just is

You'd think so, just put the fuckers in leather and boom, background colour but they keep stealing tyres and biting the Grip

It's okay, they will sell the tyres back to you for $6.40 in shrap, and the partially dismantled cars also fit with the aesthetic. The grip needs to be bitten sometimes or they get lazy ..

Australians are largely unbothered by being mistaken for Kiwis. Not so much the other way so if in doubt ask if they're from New Zealand.

lemmy.world

How is that relevant? They never said anything that hinted at them thinking Mad Max was in New Zealand. They referenced the reason for the billionaires to go to these bunkers as a Mad Max style collapse, and that in this case of such a collapse they'd not choose the one place on earth that is the home of pissed off Maori.

Yeah I can read, can you? Look at the text on top. Do the math, it's not that hard.

You can't outrun a wealth tax if you own the wealth in the taxed country. Either you sell it our you pay the tax.
