New Zealand passed a law limiting the purchase of land by the ultra-rich for survival "bunkers". (Imagine extravagant luxury towers underground), because so much of their country was being bought up, and taken from its citizens.
Today I saw an article about a Yacht Liner, 730 feet, with 39 apartments ($11 million ea), bars, clubs, etc, etc., etc. A floating city, for the Richie Rich's.
So, the thought that comes to my mind, when the Apocolypse does come - climate change, war, pandemic, alien invasion, or whatever they are concerned with that wipes out the common rabble - who are the rich survivers going to exploit?
EDITED to remove a political reference that was unintended.

People who are asking about construction around here. You've seen the rain. There is a secret club, ALL ARE ALL WEALTHY, building an arc. Did you not get the flier?
Hum, on a restricted thread they are debating about food quality and entertainment.
Propulsion OIL? SOLAR? Or a bunch of 70 year old rowers.
