The interconnected bunkers always weird me out.

They really want to live in a world where the bunker has the only surviving humans? Do they really think they'll be in charge when money is worth nothing at that point?

I forget which one of the ghouls was responsible, but I recall one of them looking up explosive collars for their hired security personnel.

JFC. I mean that sounds like it came out of a dystopian sci-fi novel or an old campy James Bond movie or something.

When you have billions and billions, a bunker is a sane bet. What's a top-end hideout cost? Let's go nuts and call it $100 million. Hell, I'd have one too.

"Hey Shalafi! We'll build you a badass SHTF bunker for $100!"

"Sure."

That's the kind of money we're up against.
