Faced with mounting calls to tax not just their income but also their actual wealth, California's billionaires - all 200 plus of them - are making preparations for that and whatever other anarchy you intend to throw at them. For most, the first response is to simply flee the state. High tale it to primarily Republican tax havens like Florida or Texas. For some billionaires though, that's not a sufficient answer. They've got business dealings that routinely bring them to California and they need to maintain digs in the state. For a billionaire, that means not just some ordinary run of the mill mansion that might suffice for some wannabe only worth several hundred million. Nope. For billionaires living with the existential fear of heathens coming after their money, only one crash pad can suffice - a concrete and steel encrusted bunker buried deep in the ground and capable of surviving anything short of a direct nuclear strike.

That's where Atlas Survival Shelters - the worlds largest bunker manufacturer - comes in. They're busier than ever, filling orders, making sure that if push comes to shove, there won't just be a glass window standing between you and your pitchforks and torches and the billionaires and their money.

Perhaps they will need an impostor, a "piss-boy", like in History Of The World, Part 1....
