mmt of in early 2020 and all those CEOs were stepping down
Several notable executives have stepped down or announced that they're stepping down in 2020. In fact, January 2020 set a record for the most CEO departures in the US in one month — 219 in all.

It's so cute when rich people think that their money will mean anything without a strong government in existence to enforce contracts

When one government falls another or more will emerge from the chaos. Those governments are typically founded by the people with resources. Its not like chaos exists sustainably. Even in war torn Africa there is rich people running shit and poor people working for breadcrumbs or in chains.

I'm curious about their gun collections
The politics of their groups are extremely anti gun, but there's no fricking way you're preparing for the apocalypse without hoarding guns and ammo.

You don't need a gun when you've built a series of interconnected underground bunkers with other rich people.

Nothing is impenetrable.
Break through concrete walls with sledge or jack hammer.
Or they have to get air from somewhere unless they have some type of underground forest.
Block their air intakes and exhausts and they will have to come out.
Or get some thermite or w/e and burn through that shit.

There was an article last year written by some guy (probably larping) claiming he was a consultant on the bunker building of all these billionaires. It claims they're insanely paranoid and are looking for techies to tell them there's a solution to having some warlord execute them and take all their stockpiles (which there isn't). I don't know if I believe anything in the article was real. I posted it here at the time, I'll try to find it again. But at some point the writer also talks about regular people trying to doom-prep and how all the normal people are trying to form communities ahead of time so that they're not one man against the world when the apocalypse comes.

Neighbors act like every redneck can't make tannerite. Your doors can't resist near infinite high explosives

tannerite is popular because it's a legal explosive to buy at the gun shop and moxify into the ready to go form, not because rednecks are synthesizing it from scratch. I'm guessing actual post apocalypse explosives would be ANFO. That being said, if you're not able to project power out of your fortified position, your enemies could simply bury you, smoke you out, or pump diesel in and roast you like at fort drum. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/fort-drum-the-concrete-battleship.html
This is why a proper bunker is constructed with multiple concealed entrances, and hopefully positions covering entrances, so as to make attack too expensive, and allow sallying against the enemy's rear and siege train.

You should read up on the private conversation Putin had with the Russian oligarchs shortly after he took power. You know, the one where he made it clear to them who was in charge. That's the kind of thing you're describing when you say "When one government falls another will rise from the chaos."
It's like... you're definitely not wrong, but you're really obfuscating a lot of wild shit with that one euphemistic phrase

An authoritarian government is still a government. My point is that the idea of roving bands of poors simply going into purge mode with butlers stabbing their rich employers in the back and taking there gold is unlikely/wouldnt last very long after the dust of whatever cataclysm that lead to that settles. Afterward some kind of governments or governments would form and take hold and probably have their own organized skirmishes for power. Rich people who survive that will do so because they will have been rich, but alsp because they picked the right alliances. The poors wont have as good a chance as the rich in either case. imho

What "resources" will Zuckerberg have sitting in his fancy bunker? At best he might have gold bullion, which would do frickall for rebuilding civilization and would likely just be stolen from him when he emerges to try to barter his way back to power.

For a bunker and a small family. Not an electrical grid.
A couple computers aren't gonna mean shit when the priorities are growing food, building shelter, and re-establishing order.
You have no idea what actual survivalism entails. None of that will make them rich and powerful after a civilizational collapse. The new rich and powerful will be the warlords who can marshall the firepower to re-establish a monopoly of force under their local regime.
Yes it does. The Western financial system and economies are where these rich Africans store their wealth. If civilization collapses, there won't be anymore wealth.

Naw, more likely field grade officers, police chiefs, i.e. the people who can rally and lead the guys who are trained in organized violence. Maybe there are some "rich and connected" who can help keep things running, too, but the power inevitably goes to the guys who can command the most people with guns. The late Roman Empire and the Warlord period in China are instructive on this matter.
You're the one citing "boston dynamic ai cyborgs" as a useful thing in a survivalist scenario.
Wtf are you talking about? I'm talking about modern rich Africans storing their wealth offshore to keep it away from local instability. During a regime collapse, the ones who don't store their wealth offshore have it sacked and stolen either by the next regime or during general unrest. You're the one that brought up "war torn Africa".

bc thats totally comparable to what would happen in a modern scenario.
what about that wouldnt be useful in maintaining a $167million self-sustaining compound in a post collapse world?

Government contracts and connections to tell them what? That there's instability in the world? You think these connections have a countdown timer to "the collapse" that they share with their closest friends?

What? No? I totally doubt that a billionaire who made his billions by being an information broker and owner of a mass surveillance apparatus would have inside information. The idea of super rich people having access to and leveraging information that isnt readily accessible to the poors is ridiculous. Also its a total coincidence that Facebook was founded the same day DARPA cancelled there Life-Log program:

I dhould have said response in that case, butt I do think people had foreknwoldge of it as early as october/november 2019.
more like carelessly letting it happen and thinking its a good thing bc theres too many people. Ever heard of global warming? Thats the cataclysm we know abput that they have been telling us is going to mass flooding, cause mass famine, mass migration, and death.
were in the midst of a mass extinction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
Just like Bill Gates Event 201 predicted the pandemic in october of 2019, theyve been actively predicting, dare I say warning, about a massive environmental disaster that will cause a breakdown of civilization.
Also youre dumb if you dont think rich and powerful people dont organize amongst themselves to stay rich and powerful. There has been numerous cases of this happening throughout history, here is an example where a bunch of rich businessman conspired to overthrow the government butt failed.
