gun in their mouth, turn off the safety and pull the trigger. If they need those bunkers, life is over for them.

The owner makes big promises. Like he will send a military team riding in a terrain vehicle out 400 miles to pick them up. To top it off, the place is actually powered by windmills that sit on the plain near it, no shit . The military team is about 10 people as of now and the facility holds something like 300-400 families. It all is just fucking illogical. Those people are better off spending the millions that they spend on that trash on getting good schools and on social services for the poor - that will go much farther toward making them safe.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
