This is an English translation of an article I wrote for a German magazine. The article looks into the post apocalyptic strategies the wealthy and ultrarich are focusing on. Main point: The rich are as afraid of the collapse of society as anyone else, but their means to face the calamity are on another level.
This sounds like an excellent way to spend the last minutes of your life having your fingernails pulled off.
By that logic people would be pulling their fingernails now in order to get money out of them, what’s the difference?
The difference is, they aren’t locked in a hole underground with them.
i have been locked in the same building with my ceo making a tiny fraction of what he is making my whole life like most people, i would never pull their finger nails to get money as long as i get enough money to survive, not because i pity them or anything but because im not a psychopath and as long as it’s not completely necessary for my survival i wouldn’t do something like that. Like most people.
you are talking about a hypothetical scenario of an apocalypse but you fail to realize that you are already living it, your bunker is your country, the rich people are the same as your scenario and you are being taken advantage of just like in your hypothetical. If you was to do something you would be doing it now
