Hey fans of wasted resources! Got a great one today!
Rumors are circulating that the idea of some sort of societal collapse is coming and the morbidly wealthy are calling it “The Event”. And nothing signifies the keeping up with the Joneses aspect more than the open flaunting of building an underground bunker to “get by a rough patch.” In the linked video, if you key in on about the 3:20 mark you get to the lines about how it’s really kind of stupid. In September 2024 I wrote about this town created by Libertarians, a project that didn’t go well:

If you have an underground bunker, who exactly is the person in charge of maintaining the septic system? Who will nurture the plants in the hydroponic farms? (For the fans of the we've seen this movie before theme, watch Silent Running.) Chateaubriand doesn’t grow on trees. A ski lift and actual snow? All the “I’m better than you because I have money and you don’t” status symbols are meaningless.
But it does give them ammunition in the I’m a Bigger Asshole Than You pissing contest. Just watch out for that 3:20 video mark downtrodden people in the same bunker as you are. That’s some high quality Vague Promise vs. the Fuck You situational disaster in the making. Somebody knows their Machiavelli or Game of Thrones, or spontaneously figures it out that revenge is an option. Spending extended periods of time fearful of assassination is not a fun thing. It’s the reason you want to build a doomsday bunker in the first place. And the contradictory nature - the narcissistic need for constant glory and admiration trapped in a bunker with a few fickle minions - good luck with that. They aren’t dining on Chateaubriand and can’t eat bitcoin. The entire infrastructure that allowed fraud on a massive scale to produce their ungodly wealth in the first place is gone.
These modern King Minos people are not mentally healthy. The entire lot of them.
The Epstein Class of people that spend more effort covering up heinous crimes with cruelty for distraction. Therapy to rehabilitate is out of the question at this point. They’re too far gone. I think of the labyrinth holding the Minotaur metaphorically. Minos’s actions are a symptom of being trapped in his own mind, one that equates power and cruelty for control as admiration.
The mindset of the angry preppers from the golden days of Alex Jones is better. But just a little bit. They’ve grown accustomed to not being well off, poverty and voter suppression tactics reminding them of reality smacking fantasy constantly. Caught up as pawns in the modern labyrinth. The purposeful erosion of the middle class is a constant reinforcement that you have two choices. Join the destitute preppers or graduate to the Epstein class. Neither option is mentally healthy. The odds that you’ll be genuinely happy saving up money for a portable generator that will be useless when you can’t get fuel for it vs. forced admiration to someone that would rather throw you under the bus at the first chance. Well, at least the bus won’t have gas either….
There’s 100% certainty that if Minos was alive now he’d be prominently featured in the Epstein files. Constantly sacrificing young Athenians to the actual monster in the labyrinth just for a little bit more attention. Another day of pretending the imprisonment of his own thoughts and deeds eating at his conscience. Knowing that if he dared showed up at the Super Bowl he’d be resoundingly booed, yet still insisting he’s the best king ever while the largest No Kings protest ever is brewing in the town outside the labyrinth. Never considering that investment in the future instead of building a doomsday bunker with the resources was a better option.
