They've been building luxury bunker complexes in the most temperate, stable places like New Zealand for over a decade so they can cut and run when their con game runs out of legs and they can't find any more suckers to make ego score line go up wheee on a decimated Earth.

The owner class has known exactly what they're doing for a long time, they just don't care about anyone who isn't them, and they'd rather see how high of an ego score they can get than to do what's significantly harder: care about anyone else.
