Let them take to the skies, they will drop like flies when the emp hits. The reaper will come for all sooner or later.

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 ?

They say their staff is going to wear suicide collars. Not joking.

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.

Mostly New Zealand afaik

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 😮‍💨

Will they at least be allowed to return to New Vegas if they figure out how to complete the DLC?

That's mentioned on the site, I guess because of lightning planes are better shielded.

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

It's pretty dark actually. Some are thinking of outfitting their employees with shock/death collars they can control remotely, drones, all sorts of stuff like that. There was a guardian article about it a few years ago.

I think this is it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/23/tech-industry-wealth-futurism-transhumanism-singularity

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.

Any of them planning to flee to the Ozarks? I need to know where to go live out my Fallout fantasies when shit hits the fan.

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.
