Yup. After the catastrophe it won't matter that you used to be a billionaire. The strong will take what the weak have. Personally, I plan on finding the least painful way to off myself. I'm too old to fight.
Personally, I will force someone else to do it for me.
I'll be either joining the undead as a sort of "smart" zombie, or join up with a roaming gang of cannibals, or perhaps a.secret underground sect of morlocks intent on rising up and killing the sun lovers!!
"For the very first time, a modern day Noah’s Ark has opened its doors for an exclusive inside look offering up plans for the ultimate Billionaire bunker and doomsday escape."
Hmm, but what happens when the first zombie gets in?
Don't believe a word of this Forbes story. A bedroom with one wall being a Sea World sized fish tank? Na. I don't buy it. This is just a cover story for some government project. Remember the US bunker built back in the 50s for Congress? They disguised it as a 5 star luxury hotel and actually ran the hotel like a real business. This is what they're doing now. They know they can't keep this bunker a secret. Heck, it's been in existence for decades. The Russians know about it. But, they can lie about what it's being used for. Think about the incongruities here. Why would billionaires want to live HERE of all places, in the event of a nuclear war?
I definitely wouldn't want to be in the bunker full of the world's leaders and power players who can be eliminated in one millisecond by a bunker busting nuclear device. GROUND ZERO! There is NO WAY this bunker could be secured against a military attack by a superpower level nation. No way. I guarantee you... the Russians and USA and probably even Pakistan and India, have nuclear weapons capable of destroying this bunker. Right now.
If I were a billionaire, I would find a way to secretly build a bunker at the south pole, or on some uninhabited island rock thousands of miles off the beaten track. I wouldn't want to share my bunker with ANYBODY else. This place would be the last place I'd consider living.
People really do underestimate the danger posed by a solar eruption destroying our electrical grid, namely our supply of transformers. It would destroy civilization as we know it and take long enough time to recover that a significant percentage of the world's population would perish.
We need a backup supply of transformers stored in a secure location to replace after such an event.
" The way an EMP pulse from a CME is much different than that produced by a nuclear weapon detonated in the upper atmosphere. Nuclear EMPs generate a much sharper intense which is quick enough to bypass your over-voltage protection circuits. CME interaction with the earths magnetic field generate a slow, high amplitude pulse, which doesn't affect small amounts of wiring much, but generates huge amount of DC current in very long wires (think cross country transmission lines). Much more than they were designed to handle. It would destroy pretty much every transformer hooked up to the grid, however your home computer would probably be okay as long as you have a surge protector on it. Cellphone and things which reply on ICs would be just fine.That said, yes pretty much all utilities would go down because we rely on electricity from the grid to run cell phone towers, land lines would be cooked, so no phones of any type really unless there is a cross country fiber optics line that doesn't rely on the grid for power."
I've always had a problem with questions stated this way.
If the world indeed comes to an end, that's all folks, that's the end. There is no 'what would you do, where would you go?
Not unless you've got a one way ticket to some other planet and leave the day before.
