I was just in New Zealand and that's the place where they've all decided to build their bunkers and I actually learned for the first time why they all chose New Zealand it's because there was an analysis of where the... if... if a nuclear bombs detonate like the probability of where they would detonate. Um when you look at the map of... of the blast radius, New Zealand is almost always outside of that blast radius. So that's why they're building their bunkers there.

Nuke New Zealand to save the rest of the world

/s

I have a better idea. There's only like 3000 - 3400 billionaires. Let's just put them all on an uninhabited island, and bomb that instead! Wouldn't even need to be a nuke to get them all!

I have a better idea.

  1. Put them on a really nice island. Lots to do, plenty of fun things....but enough food for 80% of them. (there is only 3400 of them)
  2. Leave them for a month.
  3. Come back and ask who wants to help implement wealth taxes.
  4. Take the ones that want to help out. Reduce food for new number.
  5. Go back to 2
  6. Put the sneaky ones back that were just saying it to get off the island.
