    You’ve forgotten the fourth category: the rich who barricade themselves into a paradise of hoarded resources while everyone else dies.

        Or afterwards. One cannot live in a bunker without help. Why would the support staff not turn on the rich owner when the pay is worthless because there’s no world outside in which to spend it?

          Oh fun story they already are trying to plan for that.

          Some of that answers the rich have come up with are:

          Shock collars for their security team that can’t be taken off.
          Implants that allow for remote killing of their security team.
          Biometric scanner that locks all food and water so I only the bunker owner can distribute it.
          AI systems that are self running.

          You know, literally comic book villain shit that when you try to point it out to them they seem truly confused as to your point. Reminder that the rich are already building their doomsday bunkers and have been just waiting for us to all die off for a while now.

            Anything to avoid kindness and cooperation.

                Until one of the systems fails and you get murdered.

      It’s funny that the ruling class is banking on this outcome, without the understanding that to have a functioning society where people don’t just randomly die of disease or infection, you have to have a few thousand people that all live relatively close to each other. Bunker living is just delaying the inevitable death by starvation.
