Who would have thought confining some of the most self-centred, egotistical, greedy and morally flexible people together in a living situation might not work out.

Shocker..

It's kind of like their own punishment. They'll laugh as they descend into their bunkers, thinking "no one can get in!" Not knowing that the exits will be boarded up.

At last, one of them will emerge, after having ate the other occupants - children included - and they will be met by a crowd of brown people (global warming caused "white genocide").

The crowd will then drag the surviving billionaire to a down square, where they'll be submerged into a vat of liquid metal, forming a statue with a horrid look on it's face, to be mounted on a block with a placard titled "The Last Billionaire".

"I'm not locked in with you, you're locked in with me", but they all believe they're the "me"

Can I vote for you? You seem like leadership.

They think no one can get in, we think none of them will ever get out.

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Can we just fake a catastrophe now to get them to all go in?

Nah. These bunkers all have air holes and we have a lot of concrete :)

Expanding spray foam insulation is much easier and more effective than concrete for this...

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

Por que no los dos? Layer of spray foam, top it off with a foot or so of concrete.

Fresh fish is also an option

But wait! What if we buy a cruise ship and sell the cabins on it as law-free estate for these freaks? Certainly that one has to work out, right?!

Is this a reference to The Filth?
