    The 1% truly think they are going to sit it out underground in their billion dollar bolt-holes/bunkers. It’s like thinking you’ll survive the tsunami by standing on a chair.

      i get the sense that they cannot control their thirst for power. it’s like trying to wrestle away a bottle of booze from a drunk. they’ll make whatever excuses are necessary to convince themselves that this is the way it has to be and they need more.

      They will probably mostly survive. But then they’ll realise that all productive and smart people are dead and their money is worthless in the new world.

        all their wealth is basically dependent and built on the labour of all society, they’re not escaping this. They’ll have more privilege to suffer less relatively to the majority of the people on this planet, but they’re not escaping this

      more like the 0.01%, but it’s completely doable. lots of military science to back it up.
