"The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the Axe, for the Axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them." Turkish proverb.

Please keep posting that forward.
I'm probably going to borrow that proverb someday.
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights

Billionaires would rather build up bunkers to survive the end of the world, than to give up a fraction of their wealth to prevent it
Exactly
Pity you don't have to have wisdom, common sence or a heart to be rich.
You nailed it.
🤨😬🥴I'd like to think this is not true of ALL billionaires!
@@candywarmuth6241 aww look a pathetic loser wannabe that thinks they'll get rich posting out of mommies basement.
For real pay your taxes rich people
Lol billionaires have paid more in taxes then you and your entire family tree has paid in taxes. Without billionaires there is no jobs or rich america. I bet you whatever job you work has been created by a billionaire.
Won't happen. We just hop their fences. Take it, ourselves. They can live in their bunkers, forever.
@@Socratic199 Not really. Their bunkers wouldn't be that hard to assail given some time. 🤷♂
@@megamanx466 We need robots. The thing about tunnels is that they turn into massive kill-boxes, so sieging is not impossible but you're gonna take heavy losses
@@JBBost Anyone locked in an enclosed place will eventually succumb to fire despite any suppression systems which will fail.
I wrote an apocalypse novel like that - where a cataclysm caused the Governments to abandon the citizens and saved themselves in their military bunkers paid for out of civilian taxes.... when the dust settled, they found out they couldn't escape, because the civilian survivors buried the entrances for their betrayal and left them to rot in their lavish tombs.
I just realized that the US military has the perfect thing - bunker busters! I wonder how much a hole dug deep into a mountain costs (like the NORAD site) …?
Don’t forget that any food designed to survive an apocalypse is as tasty as chalk after the third month. They would pay $1M for a fresh apple after a while.
I love it! I’d read this.
@@ninalehman9054really good point. What’s the point of surviving the apocalypse when everything is gone??

You don't need a rich guy's survivalist bunker. You just have to get a job as a servant in a rich guy's bunker.
And then eat him.
You mean so you could plot, and plan, and eventually take over?

@@Riley_roloBut money can obtain housing for people.
@@Riley_rolo Money reduces the desperation that turns people to fentanyl. Money finances the programs to teach "people to live in society".
A funny bit, thanks to Stephen's delivery, the ending was great, but I just cannot suppress the sheer, utter disgust I have for those multi-billionaires. This stuff is beyond ludicrous- hard to find it funny at all, really. These things truly need to be brought to the public eye, so thanks Stephen!
They literally have the means to CHANGE THE WORLD for the better, and they won't. This is a pathological disease, an emptiness of the soul. At it's core, a fear of death and a failure to look within and self-actualize. Pathological disease.
I agree - funny, but not funny. Thank you ❤
The trumpet Ring of Fire was just fabulous.

The sustain, and the distain. A good pairing.
@@jordancunningham4962*Disdain. Distain means dishonour or to stain something--similar but not quite the same meaning as disdain, which means to have scorn for something or someone.
@DrachenMeister666 Huh. Today I learned.
Should have cut out sooner. It took the pace out of the joke
I remember reading an article about these bunkers where one rich guy planned to use CRYPTO to survive the apocalypse. Who the hell is going to take crypto when the grid is down and there is no Internet?!
Who the hell is gonna take any form of currency, period? Can't eat bills. Can't build a shelter with coins. Can't defend oneself or hunt with cheques.
With no electricity, all a bitcoin is, is a vocabulary word.
You know who else was rich and had a giant, elaborate house? King Louis XVI. Unfortunately, his money could not afford him a new head.
Ah, ça ira, ça ira, ça ira!
Let them eat cake!
😂
They were starving... Americans are fatted... This is more like the court of Nero with no one following the senate or paying attention to the world conflicts because there are gluttonous meals and parties to attend the Theatre is open and EVERYONE knows more about the boys prancing around the coliseum in their pretty teams colors... We are a long way from a society that would do the things to gain their power back...
If they think that their guards with the guns aren’t going to pull a “I am captain now” moment they’re crazy. They’re crazy confirmed.
There are real discussions at their big doomsday meetings about things like putting shock collars on their guards and fancy unbreakable combination locks that only they can open, to keep their guards and servants in line. I wish I was making that up.
I remember one billionaire saying one way to control them is being the only person in the compound who knows combination to the food safe. Yes, I mean its not like a bunch of gruff muscle douche dude bros who carry around guns cause they feel inadequate about the caliber of their nature issued pump action pistol so they over compensate by trying to act like the 'alpha' couldn't figure out a way to make the whiny little sociopathic spoiled man-child give them the code to the food vault in a violent short tempered manner.
@@aurhiaseelund Glad someone else mentioned this. Because yep. When money is useless they've thought out plans
Well their top Google search after "Who builds a good doomsday bunker?" is "How to make my bodyguard save me instead of his own family?"
Wow, how do you know that?
Well, we can all relate to that sentiment of Billionaires who enjoy the ''Trickle-down Economics'' effect of pissing in the wind and telling you that it's raining.
We have that saying in Britain. I suppose ‘woke’ people realise that sort of thing. I’m English and we have the same conviction we’re being pissed on from on high. From the king down to the aristocracy and their hangers on.
You mixed up two different expressions: "pissing into the wind" is something you don't do, because it comes back to you.
The other expression is "Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining." Because I know the difference.
While on the subject, here's another: "After decades of trickle down economics, you end up with a nation of peons"
The rain has been warm & yellow since Reagan (1981) and frankly the common people are now drowning in debt while the wealthy are floating in a boat made of cash.
Thank you Ronald Reagan
Trickle Down Economics. If you feel something trickling down on you, Its not money.
The problem isn’t that billionaires don’t pay the taxes they owe. The problem is that they can pay lobbyists to make sure congress keeps lowering the tax bill they owe.
Both
Republicans in Congress was what you meant to say.
@@akeleven Agreed 💯💯💯💯🤦♂️
it can be both
And underfund the IRS to keep from paying what they already owe.
When Stephen reads the description of those customized bunkers, he sounds like a dungeon master explaining the surrounding environment to the players about to enter a dungeon.
Because the concept is dumb from the start. One of the tenants of prepping is not to advertise your hideaway.
If the minimum income a person needs to feed, clothe and house themselves is 20,000 per year, then the 3 richest people in North America are each consuming the resources needed by over 190,000 people to live for 1 year. Such is the calculus of greed
Top 3 known richest men are worth 600 billion. Divided by $20000 gives you 30 million people.
Where can you live for a year on 20k? That's barely gonna get you rent in an economically depressed state, let alone food and electricity etc etc.
Best segment ever!!! I have long thought these richies will survive the apocalypse, but they'll never survive their own employees.
During the pandemic they heavily invested in robot servants.
@@bovinityleak2066 Yeah, no doubt. Well, at least Karma will get them!!
Read Douglas Rushkoff's "Survival of the Richest" because he talks all about this. Every time they talk about their bunkers he asks things like "when society collapses, and money is worthless, how are you going to get food?" and "what if something breaks?" They're answers show how inept these people really are.
For a comedic rendition of how that might go down, Ryan George made a sketch titled "How Billionaires Will Act During The Apocalypse" (based on said book). 😆
To the bands brass section 👏 that was great 🤣
Stephen has such a delightful way of suggesting that billionaires are right to fear being strung up by a deservedly furious mob.
I wonder how much Colbert is worth.
@@archmage_of_the_aether The most common figure I get is $75m net worth, albeit much of that will be tied up in assets and production companies, etc. A lot of money compared to the average worker, but still magnitudes away from Bond-villain-volcanic-lair levels of wealth. I don't think you can nail him for hypocrisy here.
@@archmage_of_the_aetherHardly as much as the multi billionaires, sweet pea 🙄
@@archmage_of_the_aether Yeah... People like you just LOVE to bring up people earning honest money with honest work in discussions about people bending the political landscape and regulations and tax laws towards their personal "needs". No real arguments against taxing future trillionaires out of existence, hmm...? Look closer, it's rather self-evident, actually!
Can you spell... French Revolution? Once again, history is on course to repeat itself.
"The mob is the mother of tyrants." Diogenes
"Mobs and dictators were made for each other, and when mobs appear, dictators will soon flourish." Lanier
So many more that fit current MAGA supporters.
Search...the mob is angry.
I can't wait for there to be a technical glitch and someone getting stuck in one of those idiotic rooms deep under the earth never to be heard from again.
I'm trying 2 figure out why on Earth anyone would tell anyone else that they have a 'doomsday shelter'. The whole idea of a bunker is to keep it secret, safe, secured away from the outside panicked world. Telling others is just moronic. It's also pretty dang thoughtless.
Let's hope it's Zuck.
@@Missunderstood103These richies will survive the apocalypse, but they'll never survive their own employees.
@@Missunderstood103 to this kind of person the perception of power is as important as power itself
@@Missunderstood103 well it could be misdirection from the other places that have equally installations beneath, it could be that it couldn't be kept a secret as contractors weren't paid enough or talked to someone who talked to someone who ... talked to the press. The later seems more likely, the former i still wouldn't exclude though either. Not after hearing that these folks actually went that way with their money.
Me and myself over here sharpening the ol' guillotine blade and making a few torches to share while humming Le Marseillais.
So so very dark.
2nd amendment equalizes people. This is the reason rich people are afraid of normal people being allowed to have guns, and why they spend billions promoting disarming you.
@@ZarkowsWorldYou just think it equalizes people. Boy, are you gonna be surprised....
@@bwenluck9812Perhaps you are clueless, and that is fine. I got the guns. Soon I got your food too.
The French Revolution was dark and horrific. The billionaires should remember this when the masses come for them.
I suspect the irony is that with this expression of inappropriate wealth they just took us closer to apocalypse they fear 😧 interesting times 🤔🌀
Billionaires with bunkers are dumb enough to let the common man build them and know exactly where they are and the entire layout.
yeah I always wondered who built all that BatCave and hollowed out volcano, I thought BB dealt with this in detail fashion (how easy it would go wrong employing ordinary workers to build 'secret' stuff).
3:48 that sounds like a 5 year old describing a doomsday bunker
that’s the first thing I thought of, especially the hyperventilating-with-excitement-tone
Excuse me while I enjoy this delicious Cervesa Cristal
Remember that open letter from one billionaire to his fellow billionaires about how they should pay taxes otherwise the pitchforks would be coming for them? That was 10 years ago - I see no pitchforks, only castles to block the pitchforks getting in.
the billionaires he was pleading to realized it is 'easier' to buy all the media outlets, and hire bot armies to control the public opinion, use off shore tax havens, and lobby politicians, rather then just paying taxes.
The most hilarious part of nearly all of those rich person bunkers is that they aren't practical from a survival standpoint. It's just playing at survival with no real thought or effort put into the actual thing. They wouldn't last months in those things, much less years.
The cosplay survival bunker is just a cover for the real survival bunker.
I don't know. Maybe they could take their servants with them.
Yeah. Wondering how they will have electricity and water without public utilities.
@@annakingry9157 how long do you think they will stay servants^^
The funny part for me is that he's building it in Hawaii, which will be GONE once climate change hits in major ways.
The rich always assume that money will mean something during/ after an apocalypse
They also think they will be the new royalty post-apocalypse...
The rich will be the first to be changed back to dust.
And not by JEBUS
It means something if it is honored consistently. Our world is breaking because it wasn't.
wealth tax NOW!
I wonder what the billionaires' plan is for food, fuel, and electricity, when everything outside the bunker has gone to hell?
The real problem is actually keeping your staff from taking over when money loses all value.
All those hugely expensive trick toys taking up bunker space...where are the hydroponics, the fish tanks, the rabbit and chicken coops, the water filtration units, etc.
5000 tins of foie gras, 1.2 tonnes of caviar, a forest of pickled asparagus, freezer cabinets of Kobe beef, a wine cellar with 10,000. Bottles…. I don’t think they will be catching rats with a lump of their little toe on a string that they cut off as bait….. if they get really hungry they will eat their servants
Rich Fool Blinks, then laughs, "That's what doordash is for!"
sane rational person smiles, "O absolutely. Btw, how's that cell reception deep in the bunker?" mwaa haaa haaa
@@retriever19golden55and who's going to CLEAN ALL THIS STUFF??
Billionaires refer the people turning on them as "the event". They knew how we feel about them.

Very nice hit on "Ring of Fire". Hats off to the band also! ❤
Billionaires building bunkers says a lot how they really care about society...
Previous clients include Hugo Drax, Dr. Julius No, Auric Goldfinger, Emilio Largo, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Johann van der Smut, and with the most billionaire compounds is Dr. Evil.
No one should have billions of dollars all to themselves. It’s fundamentally wrong that over 90% of people have to struggle everyday and one percent of population have all this money just to themselves. It doesn’t matter if they earned it legitimately, once you’re worth over a certain million you need be to taxed at least 50%.
Used to be 90%. In the forties/fifties.
@@lesliecurran1704 Given they've been dodging taxes for decades I say it should be 100% to try and make up for the loss from their greed
There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire because being a billionaire is itself unethical.
Behind every great fortune is a crime.
Being a billionaire is not intrinsically unethical. To test a billionaire's integrity, just ask two questions:
1. How did you get your money?
2. How do you use your money?
The (truthful) answer to those two questions will tell you all you need to know about anybody who has a substantial amount of money. What's substantial, you ask? Well, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's a number that's higher than what *you* have.
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc that is true, and while the other comment is usually correct most of the time its sometimes not. Like that irish billionaire who literally donated all his money but a couple million to retire off.
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc The only way it's not unethical is if the answer to question 2 will lead to them soon not being a billionaire. Nobody needs a fucking billion dollars. They're hoarders and their obsession and insecurity is killing people.
@@dupersuper1938 you think billionaires actually have a billion in CASH?
I want to see billionaires when they realize they deported their entire staff. Moats don't clean themselves, Jeff...

Stephen
A survivalist bunker built in a volcano? 🌋 Good luck with that, Zuck! 😂
Maybe he hollowed it out?
We all knew he was a villain
Listen, you can't feel like a true bond villain if there is no volcano involved!
Just wrote the same before reading your comment. A bunker on a volcanic island doesn't sound very safe!
zuck already has that empty stare look
Rich people spending their money on something other than either defending their money or making sure money doesn't make it into the hands of normal people! What a brave and novel concept! Why hasn't anyone else thought of this before!?
Sarcasm aside I really do appreciate Stephen talking about this but I'm truly not holding my breath for the super wealthy to suddenly decide to not act like psychos. It's going to be the French revolution road warrior style before they're going to change. Not because normal people want that, but because the wealthy demanded something that drastic before they will ever change.
Tell me does any of your money make it to the millions who live below the poverty line ( less then a dollar a day)? Ofcourse not ypu want billionaires to give you free money but you dint want to give YOUR money to the poverty stricken?
Or as John Fitzgerald Kennedy put it 65+ years ago :
"When you make peaceful evolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable".
Humming Le Marseillais and sharpening my pitchfork. The code word is, Bastille Day.
@@Riley_rolo no, we just want them to actually pay taxes and not have tens of millions given on top of not being taxed.
The difference between what humanity can do, and what it actually does, could solve most of the world's problems.
I was a part-time personal assistant to a businessman who thought himself a prepper. When I told him he could not tell any of his friends, particularly his friends with kids about his prepping, because when things go to nuts, they're going to come begging for all the food he has stored. They will kill him to protect their kids knowing that he has all that food. He didn't like to hear the reality of the end times.
Soon guns will be banned so then you will have to try and over throw a multi billionaire bunker with sticks and stones. You will last not even a week in doomsday without a gun..
Exactly. No one benefits from an "apocalypse" situation. Almost no one today would survive that era of humanity except for maybe the most cruel of people there has ever been... such as long term criminals! 😒
Yup. Most people don't understand what the average human being in the wrong set of circumstances is capable of. We are scary creatures when something threatens the survival of our young, even when that threat is a selfish old "friend" who has lots of resources and won't share.
good job, their peace of mind is not buyable.
2nd amendment equalizes people. This is the reason rich people are afraid of normal people being allowed to have guns, and why they spend billions promoting disarming you.
In the end timey times, I'll be a well driller wandering the post-apocalyptic wastelands riding a drilling rig in search of billionaire's bunkers to frak cobalt 60 slurry into.
No drilling required! Just find the vent stacks and fill 'er up!
Thank you in advance for your service.
YES, also I figure bio attack, anything from cockroaches to ants to flies...

They could spend all that money and resources improving things for the people and communities and world around them, and thus helping to prevent an apocalypse from even happening.
There are two possible solutions:
1) wealth tax as proposed by Elizabeth Warren and others
2) the Robespierre method
Personally I think option 2 sounds like fun but I’d suggest they concede to the first before we make that decision for them.
See what lengths wealthy people will go to, to enhance their wealth while the rest of society goes hungry without shelter. Gated communities were not secure enough?
Had to go back, turn up the volume and replay the trumpet and sax. Beautifully played.
With that money, they could prevent the destruction of the planet
But that would take compassion, empathy and generosity. All of these things are missing in a billionaire's DNA or they couldn't become billionaires in the first place.

Not likely. Definitely 😂 we've done the math. No one should be that rich.
it would only take 30b to take 600,000 people off the street, each one getting a 30-50k 700-1000sqft cinderblock home on about one acre that wont rot or blow away. if companies had big contracts making the same homes over and over, it would bring costs way down, probably less than 15-30k each unit. no matter how you look at it, adding in all the overhead, 200b or even one trillion isnt much money to be basically end a housing crisis and homelessness in the us while simultaneously creating a shit ton of jobs to install and maintain everything after the fact. @@bearswithglasses

@ericminch It does bring up an interesting point though: electrical infrastructure and devices will survive a nuclear holocaust better than fossil fuel based infrastructure and devices. Basically, Mad Max is the less likely post apocalyptic scenario. The Baghdad Battery is 2000 yrs old. Batteries and electricity is easy.
So the billionaires survive. What then? All us peons are gone. Who’s gonna do all the grunt work for them then? Surely not the “billionaires”!😂

Imagine if none of the billionaires were born. Sounds good at first, but then you realize how many things you use every day that wouldn't exist. Amazon shopping? Forget it. Social media? Nope. iPhone? Never heard of it. Car? Only for the rich. And the list goes on and on.
Usually those who get super rich do so because they created something that people really want. Not always of course, and primarily those are the people that make all billionaires look evil.
I'm not saying they are saints, just that they are that much different than us. If you had a couple billion bucks burning your pocket, wouldn't you buy fancy cars, large mansions, private jets, and yachts? I would. And wouldn't you build a bunker if you worried about the future? I would, even if it's most likely wouldn't help. I would do it just because it's cool.
A tactically clever person with a large group of people with weapons "could" figure out a way to take these compounds within a hour I'm sure. Medieval siege tactics can still work against such a compound. 🤦♂

Let's spend millions or billions of dollars on an underground bunker without even considering the idea of making it waterproof.
Actually, a way better investment would be ending hunger, improving healthcare, housing, education, *fighting climate change,* maybe using the power of money to stop a tyrant here and there - or paying the tuitions of a bunch of medical students like the millionaire lady did (bless her). That pretty much ensures they won't *need* to use the bunkers - which are essentially useless. You'll need to have a coffee plantation and processing factory, cows and everything needed to milk them and care for them and the milk, a field of wheat, mill, bakery, access to the ocean to get salt - all of that, just to have a breakfast of coffee, bread and butter - no sugar.
Even billionaires need the whole world working for their survival.
Now you know they'll never give a DIME to us!!! It's like why would you screw over the people who made you rich.
Meh, if the actual apocalypse comes I'm sure a nearby navy ship will happily raid Zuck for supplies.
Right? "Hey Citizen, we are commandeering this bunker in the interest of national security so bugger off and take your family with you!"
@@Heterogeneity Nah, stick around, we need the family to clean OUR head...
The doomsday bunkers are giving me so much confidence about the future!
Rich people trying to avoid the consequences of their actions
Super great to hear the band, thanks so much 😊
For real pay your taxes churches
Exactly 💯🎉
Can anyone guess where everyone is going to go if the end of days ever arrives? If you guessed "to clean out the richies' bunkers", you are probably correct.
I was thinking they would probably make pretty great trade centers in the post apocalypse, once the servants and guards inside take care of the would-be kings. Protected from marauding raiders and climate issues (probably), lots of room to set up a market, definitely a landmark.
@@aurhiaseelund
For sure. After all, they spared no expense in their construction. Plenty of bathrooms. lol
Although I doubt their true protection from the climate. But then again, with everything gone to crap so to speak, there would be a massive elimination of human generated pollution that could help improve the climate rather quickly.
I'd RATHER it not come to be. But if it does, there is a LOT of not rich people all over the place. And their bunkers would only hold small groups of people out for so long. Arrive by the thousands and we would have some nice places to help recover the global economy and our government(s).
The could spend their money trying to fix the planet.. but.. nooo! A bunker is more useful!
Wouldn’t surprise me if Mark Zuckerberg’s bunker is in an extinct volcano in Hawaii.
Lets "hope" it does not go active again! 😁
There are no extinct volcano's in Hawaii. They're all active. BOOM. Welcome to Pompei.
all of them are mostly in new zealand
"Extinct" is a relative term when describing volcanos!
Wow great idea.
I experience the Ring Of Fire after a hot vindaloo.
I experienced disappointment after reading your attempt at humour.
@@stevenmoore3480 I thought it was funny, you can go be negative elsewhere
@@daveliu8365 As you can go be an easily pleased simpleton elsewhere, so I guess we are even stevens Einsenstein...
contrary to rich people we should invest heavily in protecting our democracy
For reals that sustained brass during the ring of fire was dope.
Tax the rich! Feed the poor!
Til there are no rich no more?
Eat the rich
Putting your doomsday shelter on an active volcano in the Pacific Ring Of Fire, real genius there.
I just thought and posted similar.😂
Lol, me too. And with rising sea levels they will end up in a submarine bunker, hopefully water tight. So clever.
@@Xiroi87 It's the same for the bunkers they have been building, in of all places, LIMESTONE CAVES, one of the worst kinds of caves to build such things due to how porous the rock is. You may be able to pump some water out, but if you got ten or more feet of water above those underground caves? You better be a fish.
Hawaii is not on the ring of fire…at all
Nor is the volcano active
Beautiful touch at 2:53. Great show Stephen & team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shark tank separated from the swimming pool by a glass wall. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that.
in my dreams, zuck and muck and bozo are in space. Without their real people funded rockets.
Yes... Proper space junk.
So true! Us normies will take the billionaires out first 😂
sadly, I am less optimistic, I fear they would bribe some normies with money or benefits, to fight off the other normies 🤢🤮
@@re1644 Well in an apocalypse, let's say governmental collapse, fiat currency would be only useful to burn, wipe your butt with, etc., but "benefits" would burn up their billionaires resources quicker than planned... thereby weakening them.
@@re1644that'll only last si long because there are far far more of us normies than there is of them.
@@re1644 they already are, the point is this won't work once the facade has dropped.
Yep, they will have needed stockpiles of food and ammo!
Policy #1 - TAX THE RICH
Where have I heard this before? Men in power with endless delusions of grandeur building themselves bunkers...oh right. Berlin 1944.
A fire moat really. instead of ensuring yourself in a stupid way. Why not make yourself less a target by off loading some of that cash to something sensible. You don’t necessarily have to donate it but 100 million would absolutely transform any small town. That Town might even protect you. You ever hear “with great power comes great responsibility”? Well, we don’t live in a world where there’s super powers,but I think having hundreds of billions of dollars could be considered a super power so yeah be more like Spider-Man and less like Mysterio.
Haiwaii seems like the wrong place to hang out in the event of shit-hits-the-fan. And here is why:
1. It's the most likely target of North Korean nukes
2. It's the closest to the frontlines of a hypothetical war in Asia you can be and still remain on US soil - which makes it a target
3. It's a volcanic island chain - it sits smack on top of a fucking rift through earth's crust!
No matter how much he spent on his bunker, all of the above is way out of its protection class 😊
Hey, remember Sealand? Would that be a better place for a shelter in comparison?
Great, so the dragons are building their dungeons. Start getting the adventuring parties together!
This segment shows precisely why the super rich need more tax cuts. They need more of their money to build crap like these things.
