Millionaires prepare to survive the apocalypse

From civilization to civilization, we could make an endless list of dates when the world would end, when the apocalypse would come.

In 1960, the journal Science published an article stating that the world’s population would reach its population limit in 2026 and, with it, its mass extinction. Newton proposed that the apocalypse could occur in 2050. And Nostradamus predicted that comet 6I7G would collide with the Earth in 3797-4011.

now it exists a luxury inverted apartment complex that they are ready for the arrival of a supposedly wide range of global disasters. Larry Halla former US government contractor, is responsible for building it.

Hall’s goal is to create “forts” with comfort against possible terrorist attacks, wars or natural and social disasters. The first complex to begin development has been in the works in Kansas since 2010 with an initial cost of $20 million.

Since the pandemic, anger over Hall’s architectural creation has spread to Asia and Europe, two continents that will have their own VIP bunkers. There is no doubt that his underground empire You will not be left alone in the United States..

According to The Sun, Larry’s original “Survival” condo has a total floor space of over 5,000 square feet. It comes with enough food and water for its seventy-five inhabitants to survive. more than five years.

Naturally, those who live there can also bring their own food. “If residents want to bring their own food, they can too; there’s cold storage, so, for example, if we’re going to be locked up for seven years, then we can bring in seven turkeys to save them for Thanksgiving,” Hall explained to British media.

The curious thing about “Survival” is that it can withstand a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead (about the size of the Nagasaki bomb) exploding less than a kilometer away. It is made of a special concrete that can bend without breaking after a nuclear shock wave.

How is “Survival”?

It is a complex of fourteen floors built seventy meters underground. There are also fourteen departments.

Each of the “silos” is equipped with a 75m swimming pool, spa, luxury sauna, cinema, multipurpose room, gymnasium, climbing wall, golf and shooting range, dog park, supermarket, medical centre, classroom, laboratory of aquaponics and virtual windows to combat imprisonment, among other services.

Right now, none of its residents live full-time in their apartment buildings, even though they’ve been cooped up there for several weeks and even a month during the pandemic.

How much does an apartment in “Survival” cost? Prices for an 84 square foot hotel room-style suite start at 500 thousand dollars. The largest penthouses in $4.5 million. They are all busy.

According to Hall, his idea was born from the attacks of 11 September: “The goal is to protect residents from a wide range of threats that could end the world, from nuclear war to a pandemic, a meteor strike and civil unrest. These are nuclear-enforced luxury bunkers designed to protect any resident both physically and mentally.

how to escape

Douglas Rushkoff, tech culture expert, tells of having received an invitation to meet in the middle of the desert with a mysterious group of ultra-rich. They were five men from the top of the world of technology investments and investment funds.

They wanted to know this writer’s opinion: which region of the world will be least affected by the next climate crisis, which is a greater threat whether global warming or biological warfare, whether a shelter had its own air supply, what was the probability of groundwater contamination or how to maintain authority within a bunker structure.

“Their extreme wealth and privilege has only served to make them obsessed with insulating themselves from the real and present danger of climate change, sea level rise, mass migration, global pandemics, nativist panic and depletion of resources. For them, the future of technology consists of only one thing: running away from the rest of us,” summarizes the author in his article in The Guardian.

Rushkoff writes that perhaps the apocalypse isn’t so much something these billionaires are trying to escape from as an excuse to realize the true goal of the Silicon Valley mentality: to rise above mere mortals and execute the ultimate exit strategy. .
