Funny or pitiful? In the balance, I'd say funny initially, then upon reflection pathetic. I wonder what the initial investment in "eco-A$" must have been for those econo-dwellings (not to mention the SUVs and assorted hardware). Quite a packet I'd assume.
The whole charade falls apart when a child suddenly needs a heart operation or chemotherapy - this is the Achilles' heel for the über-richies in their well-stocked hideouts when the hammer comes down as well. Also the fact that without armed security your luxury cave or ICBM silo is going to be spotted sooner or later by the ravenous wandering gangs, and that armed security will sooner or later decide they don't need boss toad either. It's a conundrum.
Better hope the carefree aliens, now oblivious to be spotted or even photographed, are going to swoop down and save us. (Good luck with that one, when no one can even tell what their purpose in visiting Terra is).
.From the looks of this green groopie slum... most are not cashed up ... the cashed up ones are in Queenstown NZ -- where I lived for 6 years...
My neighbour was involved in the builds of some of these luxury doomsday homes... someone from Singapore put $10M into a remote house 15 yrs ago ... 200k alone for the security system... and he might visit once a year for 2 weeks... it sits empty the rest of the year.
He was also involved in the build of a house that has 3 massive underground bunkers... one is filled with food and booze... not sure the cost of that but gotta be tens of millions...
Ironically it looks like NZ might be the first part of the Titanic to sink below the waves... given they are short on affordable energy and de-industrializing... and have been in recession for two years....
This just goes to show how dumb most people are... as a guard you need to be armed... when the boss turns his head you put some bullets into his skull... and wait for the shock collar battery to wear off ... and remove it
Compare this to the beauty of small villages and towns all over Europe and UK. Most of them are still nice enough to visit and walk around even though life has changed for the inhabitants. They're like little theme parks now with museums of how life used to be. Those towns and villages built out of local stone grew organically out of the natural environment with rivers running through them, surrounded by wildlife and organic farms.
In Spain these old villages are dying off. They've been 'upgraded' and patched up by returned emigrants to rent out to tourists in the summer but the rest of the year they go quiet. The surrounding habitat has already gone feral where once it was managed by the locals year round. I once thought these villages would fill up with retirees giving them a second life but I think the lack of services and shitty weather outside of summer months is enough to keep them away.
I'm literally watching the collapse of the old world in real time. Young people have all moved away, schools, medical centers and small businesses are on their last legs. They're all piling up in the smart city compounds where their internet is a bit faster and public transport works a bit better.
And none of them realize that all their stuff comes from outside the cities and can be cut off in the blink of an eye.
I've always thought that anyone attempting to overcome the futility of doomsday prepping (something I know about first hand) would buy land in an area where there is a farming community .. where most are already growing their own food and where one could tap into their knowledge.

Instead these f789ing fools who are clueless respond to the KOOMbaya marketing message of some clown who has bought some land and is sectioning it off under the guise of an ecovillage.... and pocketing big bucks on the sales.... what you end up with is a useless ugly slum like this one filled with inexperienced imbeciles
The wrong people still have money! I’ve already reached the blessed state of “ own nothing and be happy “ ! 😃 I was helped along that track back in 2001 by a firm of investors . Ah well, at least I’ll never have to live in an eco village 😛
Our stupid little species has completely forgotten that we are just part of nature. How long have we lived in Australia? 10s of 1000s of years? And then along comes Whitey and we trash the place in no more than a century or so. Oh dear.
Massive population collapse is baked in now.
I've been musing on our fossil fuel addiction now for over 50 years and have always thought the only people to survive the current nonsense were folks like the Bushmen of the Kalarhari. But then I had completely ignored the possibility of 4000 storage ponds for nuclear waste boiling dry and catching fire. Things don't look good.
When the energy collapse comes, the Lord Humongous and his merry group of savages will have their way with that little village and it's meek inhabitants. And I can guarantee Max will be nowhere to be found to rescue the poor bastards. Their real life ending will be brutal as well as most of us more than likely. I will melt a few barrels down while im slipping on spent brass on my way out. Oh well. As Josey said...worms gotta eat too..
Did you notice if they were wearing their COVID masks? It's time for a George Carlin reset, saving the planet because he points out the bullshit and the hypocrisy.
I'm just going to wait till the die off and take some dope lakeside cabin or something. Just walk in and say "This is my house". There is going to be so much shit leftover. We will never need to buy anything ever again!
If not for the ponds... what I would do is get some military training ... and put together a gang... and do exactly that....
I'd look specifically for a cabin that is home to a family with daughters right around 19 years old..... I'd kick the father in the ass as I toss him out the door and tell him and his wife to fuck off... and I'd have a ready made harem!!!
I could see myself as a minor tyrant controlled Fast EddySTAN
The abundance of today has made people forget the true nature of humans. These home owners, if not already dead, will be getting an up close and personal lesson from the raiders post collapse.
Hopefully, it will be a lot less traumatic than being beheaded with a rusty machete or expelling more than one's bodyweight per day while dying of cholera.
When dumb meets dumber! So Californians are being treated to higher energy prices while the State is offloading its energy to neighboring States at a discount and sometimes they just give it away. Why?
Because you can't store either energy or enough of it. Besides, California has invested gobs of money at renewable energy which is mostly subsidized by the Federal Government and its taxpayers. If it weren't for that, Solar and Wind energy would not exist. Stupid California continues to build out more infrastructure so they can boast that by 2045 they will meet the Globalists goals of Green Energy. Perhaps they'll have enough enough demand to meet all those EV owners, if they can afford those cars in the first place. Car prices are at an all time high and continue to climb as do Car Repos.
Oh, I don't know, looks completely green, clean, renewable, and sustainable from here! If I think of any other buzzwords, I'll come back and add those.

I few years before covid a tech CEO said they were approached by the rich to design "shock collars" for armed guards to keep them in line.
What could go wrong with that?
This just goes to show how dumb most people are... as a guard you need to be armed... when the boss turns his head you put some bullets into his skull... and wait for the shock collar battery to wear off ... and remove it
but living in a remote house on a remote island and then taking cyanide pills is a better way to go then marauded by your neighbours

“ Fugly” is the word invented specifically for this “ village” ! RIP those poor deluded investors.
Amusingly there were probably half a dozen signs indicating plots of land were SOLD...
The wrong people still have money! I’ve already reached the blessed state of “ own nothing and be happy “ ! 😃 I was helped along that track back in 2001 by a firm of investors . Ah well, at least I’ll never have to live in an eco village 😛
Fugly is the first word that came to my mind as well. The salespeople probably use words like practical, sustainable, functional etc.
All just part of life's rich tapestry.

I am concerned that other organisms on the planet ... will be extinguished as well.
But then given we are nasty vile brutish species... it would make sense for us to be sure to leave a scorched earth behind...

I saw only one person ... the guy cutting the grass... not sure if he had a mask on....
I assume the children were inside gaming...

Do you think government sponsored euthanasia will be permitted and actively encouraged? Dying through CO2 tubes in an orderly way instead of MadMax.

I hope that there is a clause in UEP that involves Fed Ex delivering bottles of fentanyl to every post box on the planet
my reply got posted as a new thread..?
I nearly PMSL when I saw the tesla charging station!
Eeek! Oh! coming soon..

Not CO2, but I reckon Nitrogen parties could become a thing..
