Why do most articles from Bloomberg that make it to the front page of HN are about "the rich" somehow screwing over "the people"? Like, that's the only kind I see here.
Regardless, the article is BS clickbait. Just because two rich idiots bought bunkers in New Zealand doesn't mean everyone who has property there is preparing for some doomsday scenario.

Rich people stockpile batteries! Surely they they are planning for a world-wide proletariat uprising or bio-warfare Armageddon.
- nostrademons 8y agoIt plays very well with "the people".
- TuGuQuKu 8y agoWow, you got it, man. Bloomberg is definitely just pandering to their subscribership which famously consists of checks notes socialists and trade unionists.
- aswanson 8y agoIt sells to the Bloomberg proletariat.
- jamesrcole 8y ago> two rich idiots why are they idiots?
- luckydata 8y ago"the rich" have been awfully busy screwing everyone else recently. When the situation gets this bad "the people" gets uneasy. Even Bloomberg picked up on it.
- microcolonel 8y agoGod forbid somebody have a bag with a few hundred dollars worth of essential goods so that they are not completely alone if/when social structures deteriorate. I think this rather tame degree of preparation is just the most obvious consequence of watching YouTube a bit and having few other expensive hobbies.
