Who will take care of the rich in bunkers (lighthearted)

[kavalkada]

I was wondering about this. Everytime we see a film about select few who manage to escape the planet before the total devastation, it's always politicans amd rich who do that.

If we suppose rich people have underground cities where they can hide for years and decades in case of the attack, do you think they take cooks, cleaners, nannies, electricians, hairdressers, personal trainers, doctors, nurses, teachers, tailors etc to go with them down under.

Because, let's be frank, we are talking about people who in our world never do anything by themselves.

Oooh I like this! That is a very good question!

Ha! And we all learnt over the past two years that we REALLY really need key workers to survive. Johnson, Raab etc may survive a nuclear attack in their bunker but once the tins run out they won't last two minutes.

My mum used to cook in a restaurant for rich and famous. I know she wouldn't like to be alone in the bunker cooking for rich while everbody else she knows is dying horrible death. Does that mean they take complete families down under? How easy is to find a stuff that has no friends, no family who will agree to go down under.

I wonder if they need someone who will decorate the christmas tree and run a little independent shop down under where they can buy christmas gifts. And somebody to wrap them.

Lot of things to think about.

Snow piercer on Netflix is a drama but it considers this as part of the future!

I hope not. I'd rather die knowing those pricks are going to starve to death or eat each other.

The old rich would probably be fine. Knuckle down and crack on with it.
Nouveau riche Instagram types, not so much.

We visited one of the government's Cold War bunkers and it was pretty chilling. You only got in if you were 'useful' in some way, such as military, cabinet, comms, medics etc. The senior politicians got their own rooms and everyone else got bunks literally anywhere they could squeeze them in. There was a morgue.
There was a very long straight corridor leading from ground level down into the bunker, with a huge weapons locker at the inside end. One of the aims of this corridor was to make the bunker easy to defend.
There would have been soldiers positioned outside the bunker in the open air, and part of their job would have been to shoot anyone trying to escape from the bunker. So if you were in there as an essential secretary, no point trying to get out and be with your family at the end, as you would have been shot on exit by a soldier also ordered to stay away from his family at the end.
There were lots of 'protect and survive' leaflets and films on display showing how the rest of us would have been kept calm and instructed to hide under the table. Also there was a script for what the BBC was going to play during the last minute or two.
