Since President Donald Trumps unprecedented attack on Iran last week, at least two top Trump administration officials have raced to purchase their own survival shelters designed to withstand an apocalyptic nuclear war scenario, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.
The revelation comes from Texas resident Ron Hubbard, who owns Atlas, a company that manufactures survival bunkers designed to withstand "biological [or] nuclear fallout, EMP attacks and other catastrophic scenarios. Hubbard spoke with The Telegraph and revealed that since the U.S. attack on Iran, inquiries had gone up tenfold, including inquiries from two senior Trump administration Cabinet members.
Amid those fears, business has been booming for Hubbard, who also told The Telegraph that his recent clients were almost all Christian, conservative CEOs, which included several of the wealthiest men on the planet, though he declined to identify them.

I'll take a nice, clean vaporization over a lingering death from radiation poisoning in a post-apocalyptic world.

(23,562 posts)They are supposedly promising shelter from nuclear fallout (radiation). Doubt they'll pay any claims to those that die in those shelters in any case.
Good business strategy. Just like the rest of the vulture capitalists

(2 posts)There is also the issue of food and water. They better stock a lot. Depending on the immediate situation, it could be years to decades (or more) before any is available. Reverse osmosis systems might help with water but you might not be able to grow your own food outdoors for decades. Do you like tomatoes that glow in the dark?
... No they won't actually glow, but surely deadly to eat.
And then if bad enough to cause a "nuclear winter", it will be a really long time before the surface is livable.
