Ultimately, these rich fucks are fools. Yes, they'll survive global warming longer than the rest of us, but the most they will achieve is a stay of execution, a very temporary reprieve from the inevitable.

1. The sixth mass extinction will ultimately git them too!

No amount of money or wealth will save their miserable greedy asses!

[Demovictory9]

4. true

[Kurt V.]

2. those people didn't look rich.

They're being conned.

[Snake Plissken]

3. They just look stupid

If they chose to listen to music in their cars instead of listening to right wing talk radio, they wouldn't be so messed up.

[Demovictory9]

5. exactly

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. +1. . . . nt

[PJMcK]

20. That's pretty harsh!

The man in the hat commented that the Kavanaugh hearings illustrated to him that our politics is broken.

That doesn't sound stupid to me.

[Farmer-Rick]

6. They certainly are not the uber rich capitalist kings who are destroying our world

They are the minor wealthy. The ones who got theirs before the last crash. No the real rich would bring along someone to keep up all that pricey equipment. They would bring their trophy wives with maids and butlers. The uber rich who are destroying our world would not be lugging boxes.

These are just rich preppers who got conned. They are just people with feelings who can be manipulated.

7. How long before they start shooting each other for water

or tortilla chips?

[rampartc]

8. their servants and security people will quickly discover

that their lordships are expendable.

or one of their "community" will decide that he is the bill goose loony or that he deserves the attentions of your teenage trophy wife (wives?) more than you do.

anyway, "lord of the flies" should be instructive.

[Harker]

11. Good call.

When ordinary schoolboys go primitive and there's mayhem as a result, self-deluded loons who view survival at any cost as a desirable outcome are quite likely to peck each other to death for breadcrumbs.

I imagine there are few, if any, who would make sure there were enough provisions to sustain "the help." Fark them.

[YOHABLO]

9. Umm, makes me think they might be Trump supporters. Just a thought.

[Auggie]

12. I was laughing as they rationalized it as a great spot to vacation

[nilram]

23. Yeah, me too

[Botany]

13. The Cavanaugh hearings?

I bet that stupid fuck thought that good old Jimmy C. was being
unfairly attacked by the liberals.

[onethatcares]

14. if that door wouldn't have opened again

no one would hear them screaming.

[dalton99a]

15. Lovely vacation destination

Some people have too much money

[MontanaMama]

16. Well if something catastrophic really is on the horizon...

I know one thing for sure...I’d rather go down swinging with you folks than survive with a bunch of preppers.

[bluestarone]

24. With ya there!!!!

Only reason i'd like to be there is watch these assholes destroy each other!

[Delphinus]

25. You said it.

[mr_lebowski]

17. Really rich people have these kinda places ... but in locations like New Zealand

They'll get on their private planes or yachts and head over there.

NZ is very unlikely to be anywhere near where any nuclear weapons hit. There's lots of water, lots of land and agriculture there, etc.

Give you way the hell better chances than some bum-fuck desert place in the USA mainland.

[sandensea]

18. Egomania on display

The thought that they might be spared while everyone else dies no doubt gives them (some of them at least) a perverse pleasure.

But if, God forbid, that 'dream' of theirs should ever come true, they forget about this: unintended consequences.

They might very well come see the dead as the lucky ones.

[lunatica]

19. It's a wet dream with those people.

They want it to happen so badly that they can taste it.

United States of Dystopia!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

21. The Vivos guy would have a better chance "surviving" the next 5 years if he loses that giant gut.

[The Wielding Truth]

22. I mean. If it has a pool. Maybe? Oh my...
