-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Doomsday Bunker' for Ultrarich Unveiled by US Firm. (www.newsweek.com)

"An opulent $300 million doomsday bunker complex, to protect ultrarich clients from disasters, has been unveiled by protective design specialists.

Set to open in 2026, a Virginia-based company called Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments (SAFE) says the bunkers will house 625 people, at up to $20 million per "project Aerie" unit.

Newsweek has reached out to SAFE outside of normal working hours via email for comment.

Why It Matters The vast majority of U.S. citizens do not have access to a nuclear fallout bunker or the means to build one. Relatively few people will be allowed into Government bunkers, which are intended for continuity of government operations. Billionaire wealth surged by $2 trillion in 2024—equivalent to $5.7 billion per day—as global inequality reached unprecedented levels, according to a report from Oxfam International.

What To Know The Aerie project, which is named after the resting place for birds of prey, will offer a network of luxurious residential bunkers across 50 U.S. cities, with 1,000 affiliate locations planned worldwide.

According to their website the facilities will "provide robust defense against the most severe threats, including nuclear fallout and electromagnetic pulses."

The company has been commended for their creation of many different kinds of bunkers, including one which came complete with a Formula 1 track. "

It's really telling how now all these startup grifts just ask the computer to make something up instead of even putting in like the most basic effort to throw together some concept art and there has been absolutely zero change in the quality level because that bar was already so low. Like empty, poorly thought out compositions with details that don't make sense, which hinge entirely on vibes is their whole thing, and image generators are amazing at producing exactly that sort of slop.

Startups don't have a vision, they don't have plans, all they have are some empty vibes because the economy runs on making rich dipshits feel the right warm fuzzies when they look at your pitch so they give you free money.
