Summary: After the 2016 election, it seemed that interest in nuclear bunkers were on the high. But not just any kind of bunker, these are high priced and fitted with luxuries not common to most. Bunkers filled with pools, cafes, and the most expensive of furniture range from $25,000 to $5 million, bound to raise throughout the years. Some are set with water purification systems and gardens, but most have food rations only a year worth. When told this is all unnecessary, the developers say they are critical to survival, arguing that long-term needs comfort, even if in the next year there will be no food left.
Analysis: It angers me how the wealthy can sit, wringing their hands about the end of the world, when many people are struggling to survive right now. Instead of trying to help the starving and dying people right now, they become anxious about the "what ifs" that may not even happen. Many of these bunkers were actually made during the Cold War and refurbished for this not-so-new concern. In my opinion, I'm fine with dying- I'd rather not live knowing there's no life on Earth and I'm going to die soon.
