Oscar winners, sports stars and Bill Gates are building lavish bunkers — with amenities ranging from a swimming pool to a bowling alley — as global anxiety fuels sales and owners "could be the next Adam and Eve."
Given the increased frequency of terrorist bombings and mass shootings and an under-lying sense of havoc fed by divisive election politics, it's no surprise that home security is going over the top and hitting luxurious new heights. Or, rather, new lows, as the average depth of a new breed of safe haven that occupies thousands of square feet is 10 feet under or more.
Those who can afford to pull out all the stops for so-called self-preservation are doing so — in a fashion that goes way beyond the submerged corrugated metal units adopted by reality show "preppers" — to prepare for anything from nuclear bombings to drastic climate-change events. Gary Lynch, GM at Rising S Bunkers, a Texas-based company that specializes in underground bunkers and services scores of Los Angeles residences, says that sales at the most upscale end of the market — mainly to actors, pro athletes and politicians (who require signed NDAs) — have increased 700 percent this year compared with 2015, and overall sales have risen 150 percent.
"Any time there is a turbulent political landscape, we see a spike in our sales. Given this election is as turbulent as it is, we are gearing up for an even bigger spike," says marketing director Brad Roberson of sales of bunkers that start at $39,000 and can run $8.35 million or more (FYI, a 12-stall horse shelter is $98,500).

I am always amazed at how Liberals want nothing to do with religion, or God, or anything of the sort. However, they are always preparing for an apocalypse like event. Very interesting!
But Obama healed the world
“Liberalism is a very special kind of disease.”
With a very special brand of hypocrisy : )
I'm taking the poor man's approach, which is living outside of the nuclear blast radius of the nearest large city, and some potassium iodide tabs (the gov't can't manage the "no call list". It will never get this distributed in time!)

You never watched MASH?

Luxury
Betcha he’s got a firearm or two and a couple of rounds of ammo.
If life becomes truly desperate, he can hang out with our technicians here at the Lab, but he will have to pay room & board.
I live between two or three targets, so I will assume 10,000 degrees F in about 1/10,000 th of a second.
Stand in the Holy place, if you know where that might be.

The “place in the dessert” that Yehova is preparing for his elect to ride out Satan’s tribulation will be the bombed out zone in the near east.
We only have to be there for 3 1/2 years, so the radiation is no issue.
.
AND they think we need our guns taken away, yet they are allowed to have them and have shooting ranges in their underground bunkers?
What hypocrites these liberals are!
.
“Stark raving Looney?”
They all know that Yehova is going to declare war on them, and they are just getting ready.

Compared to Mike Farrell’s off-screen political antics Alda seemed rather tame.
The Deplorables are coming! The Deporables are coming!
All sarcasm aside, yes we are...... Build up those underground bunkers all that you want because there will come a day when the middle class, or what was formerly the middle class, will be pissing down your airshafts and digging down with backhoes to “liberate” you.
Far better than gold in a vault!
This creates jobs for excavators, concrete workers, electricians...
The gold, not so much.
[Having to build bunkers after 8 years of Obama? What does that tell you?]
They’ll lie and cover for him every single day; as they watch the havoc and Hell he’s fostering. They too, know how this is gonna end (to a degree, anyways, they know).
Obama was the Lightbringer, how can this be? His election marked the day that ocean levels began to fall and the earth began to heal.
Oh Lighbringer, his have we failed you?!
