If us Kiwis had any class consciousness whatsoever we'd have an armed mob waiting for these parasites at the airport to "deport" them (from life ideally)

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

They've been moving there since like 2014. How's it going so far?

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 22 points 20 hours ago

We recently elected a government led by a wannabe 1%er so worse than Australia but better than the US.

So remember to piss and shit in their ventilation

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, just keep adding shovels full of dirt until the vents are fully blocked. When they come up for air, snick off their heads and clear the vents. Free bunker!

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your forgetting to make it smell awful before you cut off the air. Gotta make it suck so much to stay down there that the other billionaires learn and flee beforehand. Less work and more free bunkers

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 18 hours ago

Look, I don't want their bunkers, I want their heads on a stake.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes but have you read "The cask of Amontillado"?

[–] SomeRandomNoob@discuss.tchncs.de 51 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Always remember kids: A bunker might save you from a nuclear detonation. But it will not help against an angry mob with Oxygen torches and pneumatic hammers.

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 47 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Wouldn't waste our resources. Just seal up the door with concrete and walk away.

[–] WALLACE@feddit.uk 37 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

One of the guards hired for these bunkers "joked" that if shit ever went sideways they'd just kill the billionaire and take the bunker for themselves

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah they really think that the security forces are going to remain loyal to them when society collapses and currency no longer has any value. Like, they could live in a bunker, or they could live in a bunker with your whiny spoiled ass. Figure it out.

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

I'd rather die in nuclear hellfire than live in a hole for the rest of my life.

The billionaires can have their hell on earth, I'll take the express ticket off this rock.

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I bet he's got a mate with a bobcat/mini digger too.

"Hey Jonesy, give us a hang with this job Saturday!"

[–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I recall an article at most 3 years ago saying they're researching control collars for the guards.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

It's probably going to be built to be as self-sustaining as possible. (Except Elon's, because he almost certainly insisted on having final say on the design.)

e: Anyway, you put the concrete on the door and the ventilation.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Humans do not currently have the technology to create long term, self-sustaining closed ecosystems.

No one on earth has successfully created one, and biodome was cut short due to private equity buying it out and basically forcing the project to shut down.

The billionaire bunkers may be designed for long term survival, but they will have a finite amount of food at least. Water can be replaced via wells, electricity can be generated with SMNRs(if the billionaires even own those), and food may be able to be supplemented for a while with grow lights, but eventually the soil will deplete due to not having a sustainable ecosystem.

All we have to do is poor concrete in front of the entrance and wait.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

While technically "finite", the term takes on a different meaning when you consider the scale of resources they control. It would take an infinitesimal fraction of $400B to buy enough dried goods to last a generation or two. I don't want to wait that long.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 6 points 4 hours ago

That's why you cement the air ventilation!

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

That's excluding killing their air supply which is traditionally how you force people to evacuate bunkers sans bunker busters or heavy bombardment.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They probably have a lot of food and water and cultural treasures of the world in there tho.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Good they'll have something to keep themselves entertained while we look for air vents and possible communications channels to cut. Found out recently you can do some crazy stuff by dragging an anchor around with a cargo ship

Actually do you think there's any way we can can get them in there a little early?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not a billionaire but honestly if i were the last place i would go to in a mad max style collapse is the country full of pissed off maori

[–] db2@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wasn't Mad Max Australia? Neither group likes to be confused with the other.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You missed the word style. As in "in the style of the thing"

Also we are not groups. We are countries.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Most of Australia already is a literal Mad Max style wasteland, they didn't dress it up for the movies, it just is

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Lies, we have to clear the meth heads out for filming.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the meth heads were part of the aesthetic?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You'd think so, just put the fuckers in leather and boom, background colour but they keep stealing tyres and biting the Grip

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

It's okay, they will sell the tyres back to you for $6.40 in shrap, and the partially dismantled cars also fit with the aesthetic. The grip needs to be bitten sometimes or they get lazy ..

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 7 points 20 hours ago

Australians are largely unbothered by being mistaken for Kiwis. Not so much the other way so if in doubt ask if they're from New Zealand.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

How is that relevant? They never said anything that hinted at them thinking Mad Max was in New Zealand. They referenced the reason for the billionaires to go to these bunkers as a Mad Max style collapse, and that in this case of such a collapse they'd not choose the one place on earth that is the home of pissed off Maori.

[–] db2@lemmy.world -3 points 22 hours ago

Yeah I can read, can you? Look at the text on top. Do the math, it's not that hard.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago

You can't outrun a wealth tax if you own the wealth in the taxed country. Either you sell it our you pay the tax.

[–] piwakawakas@lemmy.nz 3 points 20 hours ago

Noooooooooooooooooo....
