Silicon Valley Execs. . . ready to bug out?

“Look, I’m not rushing out and declaring that the end of the world is near, but what I am saying is that it is, logically rational to talk about the fragility of these digital and electrical systems, which are really second nature and largely unexamined as we go about our daily lives.”

The article goes on to describe the “Survival Condo Project, a 20-unit, luxury underground apartment complex north of Wichita, Kan,” a facility which is “designed to be self-sustaining, with hydroponic vegetables, its own fish farm and renewable energy sources.”

So many of these rich people’s lives are built around utilization of the worker and servant classes.    So it’s millions of dollars to get a spot, but who will maintain the hydroponic tanks, gather seeds/replant, and maintain the battery banks on the energy systems?

Seems like a tough gig for your average tech exec who’s closest moment to working on a mechanical or electrical system is when he hands his keys to the Service Department manager at the Tesla dealership . . .
