    Is all this bunker-building a sign the 1% know something we don’t

    No.

    and are preparing for end times?

    Yes.

    They fantasize constantly about their wealth becoming even more disproportionate to the general population - even if it, in absolute numbers, collapses. They crave more power over people, and are deluded enough to think that in a crisis scenario, their wealth will mean anything.

      Yeah these bunkers would just be the homes of warlords that kill billionaires - probably the heads of their own security teams.

        I’ve heard floated the idea that they will try and stop this happening by having remote detonation collars on the families of their security team.

      I don’t think I would personally like that if I were a billionaire. Would like to prove that either way though.
