    To go where? 🤨

    And I always wonder, will they do their breakfast, or wash the floor, or wipe their asses all by them self or they think they’ll be able to exploit people once civilisation collapsed and they don’t have a system to protect them ?

      To go where?

      Mostly New Zealand afaik

      will they do their breakfast, or wash the floor, or wipe their asses all by them self or they think they’ll be able to exploit people once civilisation collapsed and they don’t have a system to protect them ?

      Definitely the latter. And the worst thing is that they’ll probably be right for at least a few decades, with how deeply ingrained unjust hierarchies are in the psyches of normal people 😮‍💨

        Argentina is the new popular one. Thiel’s big compound got turned down by NZ, he has stuff out there but not the compound he wanted, last I heard.

        Now he’s building something in Argentina.

        There is a podcast with the Daily Shows Jon Stewart where he says this as well. He was at a dinner party and rich people were talking about how to control populations after monetary means are gone.

          These tech lords are going to discover they aren’t as tough as they think if things really fall apart.

          Even before the militaries take control, an inevitability in that situation, local warlords, often security services out of work or not being paid, would take them out.

      Best guess on where they’ll go is probably somewhere remote like a cabin in Montana or Tennessee or something. So if this triggers and show a bunch going to small airports then that might be a better indicator. Also, they all compete with each other so it might not be a homogeneous movement. There’s probably not a sense of community with them when it comes to survival or helping each other out.

      To your second point. I think most of them would think having a few close employees would be enough to do things for them. A few house maids and a few security staff they can boss around.

    The rich, headed by Musk, are trying to remove information about their private jet flights from the public record though.
