If things ever get bad enough that the wealthy need underground nuclear bunkers, the underground nuclear bunkers aren't going to be enough to protect them. The ordinary people who did the electrical, plumbing, security, etc. know where you are, and no level of security will protect you from an angry mob with nothing to lose.
- stevenpetryk 4mo agoautomated war machines are plenty to stop an angry mob imo.
- organsnyder 4mo agoMaybe in some dystopian future. But right now there are still plenty of humans in the loop for supporting those machines.

- esseph 4mo agoNow imagine an angry mob with automated war machines
- CamperBob2 4mo agoWhy do you think they're trying to regulate 3D printers and CNC machines all of a sudden? For that matter, what did you think gun control was for, exactly?
- everyone 4mo agoYeah like the elites would have any clue how they operate, like any tech.

- graphime 4mo ago> The ordinary people who did the electrical, plumbing, security, etc. know where you are, and no level of security will protect you from an angry mob with nothing to lose. Governments around the world already keep many locations/facilities secret and hidden from the public. They will simply arrest you, or worse, just kill you. What’s your solution to that?
- everyone 4mo agoHave you thought this through fully? In that case who'se supposed to be doing the arresting and killing? -- more ordinary people. Look at what happened to Ceaușescu for example. He went from being confident in his rule to dead 24 hours later.
- flohofwoe 4mo ago> Governments around the world already keep many locations/facilities secret and hidden from the public. Those cold war bunkers only had one purpose: to keep high ranking government and military peeps alive just long enough (up to 2 weeks or so) to make sure that mutual destruction is actually 'assured'. They were not meant as some sort of cradle of a new civilization or as a safe haven to survive a nuclear war (because there would be no place to return to anyway).
- water-data-dude 4mo agoI'm talking about the wealthy building private end of the world bunkers
- olmo23 4mo agoWhat about drones though
- LearnYouALisp 4mo agoBuster-style microwave backpacks
- hedora 4mo agoI once saw a news article with interviews of anonymous bunker tenders; essentially, there is a small industry of former special ops folks that are paid to live in the bunker and maintain it. The main point they made during the interviews: If things ever get bad enough for the owner to want to move into the bunker, the #1 priority of the guards will be to neutralize the owner. They worked out detailed contingency plans while twiddling there thumbs and rotating cans of caviar. It turns out you cannot eat electronic money that’s sitting in the middle of a bank’s bombed out business continuity vault.
- senordevnyc 4mo agoSounds incredibly fake. The type of people you're talking about don't do anonymous interviews, and they wouldn't talk about this if they did. But hey, I enjoy fake AI content on social media sometimes too!
