It's now just me with my case of canned beans.

All the best silos have been taken.

I find it somewhat interesting, however more sci-fi than real world. If the sh## hits the fan we're all toast and surviving in a bunker with a stack of gold coins and 20/20 eyesight is not something I strive for anyway.

Scary stuff though.

>sci-fi

Billionaires can buy on a sci-fi scale.  The rest of us have to make do with tins of SPAM, beans and a cheap short wave receiver from Radio Shack. LOL

There was a movie, 2011(?), that we may need to watch again.

Just watched that again a couple nights ago. The whole time I was thinking "Walking Dead without Zombies"

I watched it after reading the book which was extremely depressing imo, much worse than the movie.

My old professor who studied the multiple French Revolutions once said "When you hear the words 'law and order' get out of the cities."  So I'm a step ahead of the game

A friend of mine got obsessed with silo conversions a while ago. He was contemplating a book on the subject but didn't get very far.

Off by a year. 2012

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_(film)

Billionaires paid for building 4 hi-tech, luxury arks.  The movie ends with the 3 surviving ships arriving at the last remaining piece of dry land, a large island.  I've always wondered what happened next as billionaires aren't too good at foraging for food.
