Why are these people moving into these bunkers now? And why do you all seem to think it's billionaires who are doing that, into $55k units? Lol. Lololol.

Yeah - these are crazy preppers. Inknow a few of them, and they're the kinds of people who you very much do NOT want to share a bunker with.

What can be done to prevent those living in bunkers like this from ever coming back out alive?

[–] matthurtme@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Cement in the air vents and they'll asphyxiate

I am ok if they just never come out even if they don't have to die. Like lets all pretend the world is about to end then we will tell them 100 years later.

"During one particularly hairy incident, a man who moved into one of the units with his wife, his daughter, and her four children, pulled a gun on a Vivos contractor who had pulled up with a front-end loader to his bunker. The resident eventually shot the contractor, injuring him. However, South Dakota’s stand-your-ground law led to a grand jury declining to indict him."

What's that thing about empires falling after 250 years traditionally?

The worker should've watched The 100 or Fall Out, plenty of warnings there. /s

Have none of these people or their handlers every heard of Fallout? Even the control vaults usually end up eating themselves.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

love how one of the safest vaults, 88 i think it was, was only safe because the science team failed to introduce the plan

Huh, who could have predicted this?

This was their last chance to avoid paying taxes. The only hope for them now is to pay taxes. Just like the rest of us.

Much like the petty grievances plaguing often overbearing homeowners’ associations, investors of a purportedly “five-star” bunker in rural South Dakota called Vivos xPoint...

Um, South Dakota? The South Dakota that is a central region of America's nuclear sponge, where nuclear strikes at the USA's nuclear missile silos would likely hit? That South Dakota is where these geniuses plan to weather the apocalypse?
