    I think the ultra wealthy are just trying to buy time until they can put automated turrets and drone death squads in their mansions.

    I’m not trying to argue that it’s a sound strategy, it’s just what I think they’re aiming for.

      Cut off the supply chain,if any, wait for munition to drop to zero, advance.

      It takes 1 guy to make a killdozer that will get past those turrets and is immune to drones.

      I think the ultra wealthy will have to leave their apartment at some point, and then they’re vulnerable.

      Also, what’s even more important is that the rich own all their wealth in the form of company shares and real estate, and that cannot be moved inside a bunker because it fundamentally has to face the outer world. In other words, the billionaires can hide in their bunkers their entire life for all i care, but the publicly accessible infrastructure that they own is gonna get taxed in that case, and that is just as well.

      Some of them definitely are… they ahave never been the sharpest pencils in the box.
