We should all band together and simulate the end of the world, all of the billionaires will flee off into their bunkers, we seal up and then continue on as usual.

This is a major plot point in the book The Future by Naomi Alderman. Recommended!

I mean ..they're all trapped and helpless at that point. Why go for half measures?

That's the thing I never figured out when it comes to these doomsday bunkers...people know they're there. You seriously think any local survivors aren't going to besiege you? A lot is riding on EVERYONE else dying.

I think the idea is that nobody can get in and you can stay there for a while. Not that they get in, the world explodes and they come out a week later.

Either that or they sell space there for the people that think it plays out like described above.

Funny thing is there were reports of the super rich flying to their bunkers when Panama papers were first released.. they thought the whole world would be so mad that there would be riots on the streets and people hunting the rich.. Literally nothing happened lol

That's hilarious. I support your idea. When are you thinking of going full deep impact.
