Okay but have we tried this? Can we? Please?

They forgot to seal the vents and doors with cement.

I still think it's preferable to eat them.

The trick is to brick up their bunkers from the outside once they've taken themselves inside.

As much as I like the idea of locking billionaires away; the system that created them would still remain, their companies would still exist and there would still be plenty of unfeeling psychopaths with nothing but greed in their hearts.

Get back in your hole. Are you too good for your hole?

Billionaires are the result of Capitalism, change the system, no more parasitic billionaires. Also chop off their heads.

I was hoping for something like:

"You were", she answered without hesitation.

Also, why would she be afraid of them? Without the system of power that upheld them, they are about as dangerous as the average human. Possibly less.

If anything, they're the ones who should be afraid. Especially the ones on the Epstein list.

I love the idea, but the billionaires know they're on a timer with regard to staff loyalty and will actively be monitoring the outside world to get out as quickly as possible. In a completely unrelated matter, I think we might have some good spots for building giant concrete structures to contain future radioactive waste...

There's a book, Survival of the Richest which is about these billionaires and their bunkers.

What's amusing about it is that these rich people obviously hate having to do anything for themselves. So, sure, they want to go to their doomsday bunkers. But, they also want to have a staff in that bunker who will serve all their needs. For some reason, they thought that Douglas Rushkoff (the author of the book) would know of some way that they could keep their staff in line once the world had ended.

They knew money would be useless, so they couldn't just pay their staff better. They knew threats wouldn't work because it's their security staff who carry the weapons and know how to use them. So, they were wondering how they could keep their staff from turning on them without the tools they normally use. Rushkoff had to explain to them that there really wasn't any way that they could expect to keep living as a rich person in a bunker or in a post-apocalytpic world.

Can't we just kill them instead? That would solve the whole getting out issue, AND they've already built cute little tombs to use as well

Nahhh fam we gonna pour concrete down their lil air holes hihi

New elites would just take their place

Sounds a bit like The Defenders (Phillip K. Dick)

Yes please

In the place of 1000 richest people we will get just new 1000 richest people in that case.

Maybe we should start a new worldwide tradition. Sacrifice the 500 richest people to the volcanoes every five years or so. Say it's to keep away Judgment Day or the astroids or something that the religious nutjobs will buy.

Then asshole parasites (aka billionaires) will stop hoarding to avoid being volcanoed.

This is funny because it's true.

“The Future” by Naomi Alderman goes somewhere along these lines
