    The part of this I can never grok is where do all these assholes plan to go when they have poisoned everything? A bunker? Is that really something to exploit people and the planet to race towards? Like say goodbye to your stolen land on some Hawaiian island, and “hello sweet underground hermit life”! And a bank account full of useless currency to show for it (actually 99.99% is just 1’s and 0’s in useless bank computers).

    At least Billionaires exploiting everyone, and everything, back in the day didn’t also rush the downfall of everyone stuck on this rock into a dystopian nightmare.
