    The billionaires are much more mobile, they just fund a venture capitalist firm in a new country, or start some other business to parasite in another region of the world.

    The only way to stop them is to dilute their power. They have the upper hand economically, maybe time to figure out what other tools the masses have?

      Everyone seems to forget that, they can just take their money put it into another country now while the usd still has value then dip after ruining this country to somewhere they’ll be protected and we could never feasibly reach them, they already made interconnected bunkers just in case shit goes wrong during the blm riots (look it up many news articles at the time, they were proud of it, they fr said the peasants may rebel lets build bunkers)

              Hamas showed the world that Israel isn’t safe. The strongest border in the history of the world and some guys on hand gliders beat it. No matter how strong the walls are, how thorough the surveillance, or how lethal the military it will always be possible to reach them. They can’t hide.

        The interconnected bunkers always weird me out.

        They really want to live in a world where the bunker has the only surviving humans? Do they really think they’ll be in charge when money is worth nothing at that point?

          I forget which one of the ghouls was responsible, but I recall one of them looking up explosive collars for their hired security personnel.

            JFC. I mean that sounds like it came out of a dystopian sci-fi novel or an old campy James Bond movie or something.

          When you have billions and billions, a bunker is a sane bet. What’s a top-end hideout cost? Let’s go nuts and call it $100 million. Hell, I’d have one too.

          “Hey Shalafi! We’ll build you a badass SHTF bunker for $100!”

          “Sure.”

          That’s the kind of money we’re up against.
