I'm pretty good at the motorcycle stockpiling myself. Just ask my wife lol

If your way of making money makes you really fear people will be mad at you, you should be asking yourself what's wrong with your way of making money. That is, if you care. But if you don't care don't whine.

I don't remember who said it, but I think about this comment a lot:

All these billionaires would rather spend their wealth building bunkers for when their actions cause social collapse, instead of trying to prevent social collapse in the first place.

I read a book called Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven many years ago about a comet hitting the Earth. There was a scene in the book, after the impact, where a rich guy manages to finally reach a place up in the mountains where he has supplies stashed, only to find that his employees have claimed it for themselves and won't let him in because he's basically useless in the new world of survival.

If you were working for Huffman or Musk or any of the rest of them, and a there was a huge society ending disaster, would you let them in when they showed up or would you just shoot them down with their own guns? I know what I would do. I can't imagine anyone letting them in.

The really funny thing about Spez is that he's far from a power player in the tech scene, nowhere near the likes of Musk and Zuckerberg. But he so desperately wants to be that he actually just looks sad and pathetic in the process.

Wtf is he going to do with his stockpile of motorbikes during the apocalypse? Start a Mad Max biker crew? What a fkn loser lol.

Where are you getting the gas, Steve? Gas is only good for a few months in storage without treatment and a couple of years with it. Have you never read a fucking book?

The first thing people will do when society collapses is head to where the billionaires live to raid their stockpiles.

I always find it funny that people imagibe that in an apocalypse a modern fossil fuel vehicle would be any good. Unless you know how to modify the engine to use realistically self-producable fuel you will be able to run it for only a few months before all the fuel in the world degrades and starts destroying/not running the engine. Better off getting electric vehicles as electricity is actually easy to produce.

Multiple motorcycles? What's he gonna do, ride them all at once?

I say that when the billionaires retreat into their bunkers we should all cover the entrances and vents with a couple hundred layers of concrete.

Nawww is the little piggy boy scared we're gonna come for him?

Good.

Insane strategy, Silicon Valley execs. Sell the thing that you believe is gonna cause the apocalypse so you can afford to have apocalypse insurance. That definitely needed to happen...

Rushkoff wrote a book about consulting for these billionaire peppers.

Just collecting shit for badder men really. Dumb.

All these billionaires stockpiling in their secure bunkers have clearly never heard of the word 'siege'.

Self fulfilling prophecy

Hilarious and sad considering those techbros are creating the conditions for a possible economic collapse, such as playing with creepto.

Oh yes, kinda reminds me of reading a chapter in World War Z (the book with its dark comedy is still more entertaining than the humorless movie), like how one character found himself on an island full of rich people... Guess what happened next?

The rich would rather live in an apocalypse than let workers have some more of the wealth that the workers themselves have created.

At least i know where to find the motorcycles, guns and food when the apocalypse comes

Would rich people want to live in a world where there is no one else to enslave?

I would like for them to find out the hard way that the characteristics to be a leader in a Neo-liberal capitalistic society are not the same in an apocalyptic wasteland.

And by hard way, I mean that they would be made the fucksock of charismatic warlord.

Electric motorcycles? Do preppers have an understanding of how gasoline absorbs water from the air and is substantially worse within a matter of months? Even with stabilizer, you get a few years out of it, tops. What are you going to use for the rest of your life?

To be fair, the writers of post-apocalyptic Hollywood movies don't understand it, either.

It's almost like we should strike now before they have a chance to run and hide.

at least we know who to rob.
