It's not just fuckerberg, EVERY billionaire is doing it and desperately pumping their billionaire friends for tips and suggestions on things like 'keeping guards loyal for multiple generations', and 'what commodities to hoard for trading after the collapse'.

One of the sites I used to support was a high-end automation service, normally for factory equipment and biotech but pivoted to luxury home automation (no IoT devices, all site hosted with aerospace grade equipment), and they have been running at 100% for the last seven years deploying to ultra wealthy residential estates where the location is not disclosed.

The wealthy are expecting us to rise up within the next decade and a half, and I think they're probably right.

I remember seeing memes about this. I think it was the "boss throws guy out the window" template.

  • "How can we keep our guards loyal? Drug them? Bomb collars?"
  • "Maybe you could pay them and treat them with dignity and respect"

Personally I think we should start a campaign of jury nullification and "if you're an EMT, and they're a billionaire, let them die", but I'm just one guy.
