Just one of Nature’s ways of showing that some people have more money than judgment.

>>FO3, only the best video game every made.

You didn’t like FO4?

“1,000 bunkers will be built by US company Atlas Survival Shelters in the next 12 months, compared to just 50 in the past year.”

I guess Atlas is becoming a real world Vault-Tec.

Their bunkers won’t save them.

[Billthedrill]

I'm onboard. You guys can duke it out with the invading Chinese hordes, I'm gonna Prepare For The Future.

Fallout 4 was great if you like visiting the same sites over and over and over while listening to cries of help for militias unable to defend themselves. FO3 was great, but FO4 tried to do too much. I’m waiting for the sequel to Skyrim, but there may never be one.

Better hope you don’t need any kind of doctor or medical treatment too, i.e., don’t break any bones, need to deliver a baby or come down with appendicitis.

MDs free and RNs charged half price.

Lawyers pay triple.

[sparklite2]

Nice.

[Mogger]

While a bunker is nice, you can improvise a fallout shelter many different ways.

You need mass between you and the radiation for a couple of weeks.

A book collection stacked on the floor above you, with you in the basement, earth bermed against the outside of the house.

There are good short books from Civil Defense in the 1950s and 1960s on how to do it.

The big fallacy of these high-end bunkers is that the owner and his family will also need "menials" (service technicians, maintenance workers - maybe even security, domestics, etc.) to keep them running for as long as it takes before the surface is inhabitable and safe again.

And just after the steel vault doors close and the nuclear exchange begins, those "menials" could simply depose the owner and his family (in order to, e.g., bring in their own families).

Cute movie.

[T-Bone Texan]

My worldview on this matter more closely aligns with the movie Miracle Mile, which offers a dark depiction of the breakdown of society in a world where there’s only 2 hours to live.

Or you have a chronic need for medication, ranging from being diabetic, having HIV, etc.
