Blows my mind that there are people who'd rather have billions of dollars and live in a bunker for the rest of their lives than have a comparatively modest existence in a flourishing environment with fresh air and sunshine, and that those people are being trusted to make decisions for the rest of us, but here we are.

The problem is that even a billionaire can't solve the problem, only a revolutionary transformation of society can solve it. Most ruling classes tend to perceive revolution as a fate worse than death, so bunkers are the only option left to them
