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).

Cute flick
What the rich don’t realize is that when the SHTF money will mean nothing and the mass of people will be coming to take what they have, there will be no safe harbor. They will have a better chance than the averagenoerson but they will still have to fight to survive.

Didn’t surprise me one bit.
If it’s nuclear war then that mass of people will be dead, injured, or sick from fallout.
If it’s an asteroid strike then they will be dead and injured. (But no radiation)
If it is an EMP then the vault dwellers will need to be far enough from any cities that they will ) remain undiscovered for as long as it takes for the mass of people to starve to death. About two or three weeks I figure.

You may be more accurate than you know. Here’s his spiritual father:
Isaiah 14:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
“They all know that Yehova is going to declare war on them, and they are just getting ready.”
I respectfully disagree. They simply don’t believe in Yehova (using your spelling — not saying it is wrong, but have seen several).
If they did believe in Him at all, they’d know that even nukes would be less than insect bites to Him or His returned Son, and their bunkers would be meaningless.
NO, but I am a life-long Californian and I will defend the place where I have made my life for 76 years from nonsensical, stupid, unhelpful “comments.” BTW where will you go to post your comments if California “drop soff into the sea?” Seeing as how Fresno is in the flatlands of our Central Valley, you’d be SOL!
Hmmmm.
That map is only semi-useful.
The big strategic level nukes would be targeted on the upwind sides of vast tracts of arable land. You would die in those just as easily as the smaller bombs that would hit cities.
Their brains don’t work all that deeply, or they wouldn’t be liberals.
Some of these luxury bunkers have armed guards. I suppose some mercenaries follow a code that says they do what they were hired to do. And some of them will say, who’s the one with the gun?
Unless absolutely no one, except no one, knows about a bunker and/or hidden survival provisions, they will be taken away or destroyed if the SHTF. I do not care how well defended or hidden, they will be nothing but tombs.
“What the rich don’t realize is that when the SHTF money will mean nothing and the mass of people will be coming to take what they have, there will be no safe harbor. They will have a better chance than the averagenoerson but they will still have to fight to survive.”
And, I bet they all have security guards to protect them in their bunkers. How long does the owner keep control of the bunker in that very unstable situation?
I keep reading these stories—what’s to stop their servants from killing them ten seconds after SHTF?
So Limbaugh is into construction these days?
Bunkers for me, but not for thee.
Dont tell me he nicknamed it the swamp
