      Does he know that his net worth will be reduced to either his useful skills, or whatever the next guy gains by killing him and taking his stuff?

      Seriously, you better have something real useful for your bodyguards, because they’re probably the first ones that’ll turn on you.

        There was some legit talk among the wealthy a while back about how to control their slaves servants… and the idea of bomb collars was floated…

        I can’t find the article at the moment (I’ll edit when I do because I’m still looking but my app tends to crash if I wait), but this is all totally on the up and up and it’s really fucking depressing that there are so many articles now about doomsday bunkers for the ultra wealthy… like they could have just pumped that money into fixing things but they don’t want to… sociopaths.

        Edit- found it faster than I thought!

      I love this idea of billionaires making bunkers. Pretty sure I can afford the quikrete and wheelbarrows needed to make this a better world.
