The World Is Ending

So more people are buying bunkers in which they can survive to populate the world once more. Companies that make so-called "doomsday bunkers" are seeing rising sales. While the number bought is relatively small, the increase on a percentage basis is quite large, almost 1000% in some cases.

Some of these bunkers will be multi-family. One company is planning to build a bunker to house 950 people; it will have "four levels of individual suites, a medical and dental center, kitchens, bakery, prayer room, computer area, pool tables, pet kennels, a fully stocked wine cellar and a detention center to place anyone who turns violent". The prayer room, pet kennels and wine cellar are must-haves. Some of these bunkers can be expensive; supposedly there is one that sells for $20,000,000.

In some ways it's good to see people clambering to be saved. It's a sign that the world has not changed. Some of us will clutch at straws to avoid the inevitable.
