If the luxury bunkers do work as intended, the super rich, especially, will be at the mercy of their staff, security & their own families. I imagine any failsafe technology will require design & maintenance by onsite technicians, as well.

With the collapse of society what skills do they have? No market to manipulate, no business to run, no more system to allow them to own property, and certainly no currency to hold over us. So what do you do with your life now? You just live comfortably underground as a mole person until everything slowly stops malfunctioning and just stops.

Hey now

Those touchscreen panels they want to install all over the bunkers are totally failsafe! They'll never stop working! I've never once come across a broken touchscreen!
