Do the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy version then. Load them all into a ship, tell them we’ve discovered a habitable planet and we’re sending our best and brightest to start a new civilization, and fire them into space.
Pretty sure you could at least get rid of Elon that way.
Hitchhiker’s Guide kinda did the opposite, the ark was filled with all the people doing the menial, boring and ‘unimportant’ jobs and the other 2 arks died out because they didn’t know how to get basic shit done… well actually it was an un-sanitized telephone but thats how I read the metaphor.
Other greedy fucks and power hungry people would replace them. We need a sustainable way to stop this being possible, banishing the rich by itself wont do shit.
If they all got thrown into a woodchipper publicly for crimes against humanity while the public cheered I guarantee you’d find people being more hesitant to exhibit the same behaviors and we should abolish the accumulation of wealth above a certain amount
That’s why I gave up hope. I realized even if they got overthrown, and there was a power change, there would be just a surface-level change, with all the corrupt and sick shit, still happening underneath a democracy-flavored world.
Not that it isn’t the likely result of said group unexpectedly oozing out of their fuck-off cocoons dotting the wasteland their forebears created, but…

the vault dwellers weren’t exactly Reavers, sowing psychotic ruin in every step. More like baby Nazis squirming from the nursery vats, blinking in the light of the new world and unaware yet that the world doesn’t want or need them. 🤓🤌🏼
Before we build I have some notes based on the failure mode the tweet exposes.
Why would the vault door be built in such a way that it can be reopened? Seems like over-engineering to me
This thing doesn’t need to be sustainable for 10 years, it just needs to look like it will be. 10 days is more than enough for our purposes I should think
Yes, but it’s a question of cost: how many rations in each is sufficient to be effective bait while still being the most efficient use of resources, considering the advertised decade isn’t actually the target timeline (or survival the intended effect) ? 😅🤓
Okay but have we tried this? Can we? Please?
Fallout S1 reveals what would really happen.
Tap for spoiler
Incontent with their underground paradise, they go out and obliterate all forms of civilization that aren’t them.

Too big of a cost.
Tell them we have a ship, and once they all gather with a big fanfare, roll out the guillotine while fireworks go off.

It is probably harder to trick the next thousand richest people to go to their bunkers
Everybody who shows any hunger for power goes to the bunker.

I bet those billionaires could make the system more efficient if they were properly motivated.
We know they’ve got great bootstraps.
I would legit be happy if they spent 10 years eating rations in a concrete tomb.

Just fill it with empty cans…
Oh, man. A smorgasbord of all sorts of flavors and cuisines, as far as the eye can see… Only, they’re silently, resolutely empty. Diabolical. 😱
