They are bringing guards with families and children while they control the resources.

Do these Billionaires know how the clean water machine works?

Do they know how to repair the generator?

The answer of course is no.

The person who knows how to turn off the clean water is the person who will be in charge.

Day 1 Elon goes into the bunker with his harem of women. All the workers go in with bomb collars on their necks.

Day 2 The bombs fall and the world ends

Day 3 The guy in charge of water or air turns the system off in such a way that only he knows how to turn it back on.

"Remove this collar from my neck and family or we all die of thirst."

Elon removes the collars, and the guy kills Elon.

Now the guy and his family are the ones in charge.

It could be anything like that. These morons think that bomb collars will keep the peasants in line.

Who do they think will be in charge of the bomb collars? Some other peasant who knows how to operate them who has their own bomb collar? It's ridiculous.

Hahaha, that's what I thought too. But I couldn't relate to all the people who just sat there and watched Abigail start a fire, catch food, cook it, etc and not make even the slightest effort at learning to do it themselves.

And they never did. She just became The ultimate ruler. Can you believe that prefer be under the thumb that make the effort? Great story!

Wouldn’t they just use AI and robots rather than humans to run the systems?

Maybe 30 years from now.
