I hope the plan is to bring the world to the edge of nuclear war and, when all the elites have been tricked into running to their bunkers, we bolt every bunker door on the outside and they can stay in there forever while we throw a worldwide party.
All for the party, but the bunkers are blown in place.
We have one of those bunkers just a couple miles from my house. Built it about 30 years ago. Two big generators, large water tank, 400 beds, super neat kitchen, etc.-—built to hold the state government in an emergency. But I think they figgered out that trying to use it would be suicidal. So they let the Guard use it as a school. I always thot it’d be a good place to hold treason trials.
That’s what I would do. Just pipe CNN to the monitors for the next 100 years, showing post-apocalypse destruction and toxocity.
People on the surface will adapt very well in their absence.
I like your scenario.
