      They won’t, at some point money won’t matter anymore. They think they’ve got it figured out with their bunkers in New Zealand and Hawaii and where not, but I don’t see them having the skill set needed to survive in that scenario. They just think they do, having gotten rich in IT and being surrounded by yes-men ever since.

          I am imagining “hunters” swarming into the forest and exterminating everything edible within a couple of weeks like a plague of locusts. Even if they were hunters, it wouldn’t help them.
