Wow. I have always believed that the greatest danger the Uber Rich have is from their "Head of Security". You know they day, when he says, "You know you have a beautiful daughter".
"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown" - Henry IV, Bill Shakespeare. Far too elevated for this present lot. Lazy elites. But, this touches on another factor. These large group underground survival shelters, say, converted NATO Cold War "nuke proof" weapons systems with hydraulic blast doors. Three classes - the rich who paid for it => the useless eaters, the technicians with the brains who maintain systems and the third class and least intelligent, security. You get an immediate survival multiplier re food and water if one class is eliminated. The Law of the Land has ceased to exist. Anyone can figure the rest.
I remember reading an article about 6 years ago penned by a young, very bright economist who had been invited to one of the elites' gatherings (Davos crowd) to give a talk. Afterwards, he was invited into a room with 4 or 5 billionaires, and he had expected to be asked further questions about his talk. But no. He was surprised to hear that they wanted him to give them advice on how to "handle" their security issues at their bug-out shelters -- how could they retain control over (be safe from) security that might be tempted to turn on them. The economist was flabbergasted and replied that he had no advice for them. It wasn't his field, and he agreed that it was a "problem" for them. LOL.
A media communications specialist from a New York university as I recall.
He wrote up this billionaire meeting and I thought of a follow up piece but thought better of it.
They consulted the wrong person.
Perhaps instead an Evolutionary Psychologist or an Anthropologist.

Did not work. Required resources to be brought in and then there were the inevitable psychological issues. There, people could step outside and they knew it.
Underground, in New Zealand, you can't step outside.
There's been a major war or the climate has gone to The Dog House or it's gone to The Dog House because of a major war.
In either case, the people you have hoped to avoid are waiting for you up top and matters pertaining to personal rights will not be their prime concern.
The latter know that the elite class attempted to survive circumstances of their making while the rest were abandoned to whatever fate.

Consider COP-26, that late 2021 uber cop out. No climate scientists in attendance, as reported. Popular commentaries by journalists, economists and the political class prevail. Climate scientists if any are little consulted. The truth far too difficult these days.
The warring tribes of capital on display, dominated by nationalism, vested interests, culpable ignorance and a studied arrogance toward present climate trajectories which, most likely, will be civilization terminating.
Hi, led here by a comment. you made on the darwin awards substack, evidently you have a lot of writing energy, but I could not read the whole long post, so maybe you can ask CHATGPT to summarize it for those of us without the patience. God bless those of us with eyes wide open. I cling to the mantra, "The meek shall inherit the earth," and remind myself that there may well be a multidimensional matrix of timelines, and also that we know less about the universe than even a midge knows about the Earth ecosustem.
Brother, this would be fine writing if you had taken the trouble to write it well. I don't disagree with a single thing you said, but your sentence construction disagrees with itself to a distracting and disappointing degree.
It matters because you cannot truly know what you think, or why, until you have taken the trouble to articulate it.
This is a meandering think-aloud stroll through your impressions on the subject, not an articulation of your thoughts. Cross out all the wrong words, as Twain might say, and put an edge on that talent.
- Which state are you from? And why not subscribe? All free.
- The overarching point: Those in charge, notably the billionaire class but not limited to them, seek to escape the consequences of their decisions by creating below ground survival shelters while "the working class" above ground die, either from the effects of global warming induced crop failures or the so-called Nuclear Winter.
- If Western Governments served for the common good, no one could escape and they would be forced to deal with these decisions and avoid similar ones that suit them but disregard long term adversarial consequences.
- The Elite Monied Class, generally privately schooled, are outside of the office, largely useless and thus useless eaters.
- To sustain themselves in their underground living quarters, they rely on two classes, one the technical class to maintain life support systems and the other from the lower working class, the security guards.
- Of both classes, the Elite Monied Class generally despise.
- The two classes gain a significant survival advantage with food and water and energy if the Elite Monied Class are disposed of. Remember. There is no state law, the above ground government no longer exists and the contractual arrangements between the Elite Monied Group and their employees has no legal force and effect.
- Under extreme circumstances, brain function changes. The milk of human kindness rests on a surplus of resources and a bright future. The surplus is gone. The future is threatening. Any extra mouth to feed is a threat. Your threat.
- What has to be done will be done. The Elites will be slaughtered.

Hi Melanie.
Indeed.
I know who you mean. Name just slipped my mind.

Agreed . . .
Disagree. I prefer it the way it is. Thought provoking. Moreso, I think, than if overly groomed.
