End-of-Days Timeshares Make for a Booming Underground Shelter Industry

by Mediaite | 2:53 pm, July 29th, 2010

USA Today is reportingthat Cold War era paranoia is alive and well in today’s society (albeit modified to accommodate the more ambiguous range of threats we face today) in the form of a booming underground bunker industry. But these aren’t your average hole-in-the-desert bunkers, mind you. These are bona fide luxury comfort subterranean shelters. No joke!

Meet the Vivos network, “a nationwide group of 20 fortified, underground shelters” that you can buy into for the small price of $50,000 per person ($25,000 for each of the kids). According to USA Today, the network offers “partial ownership similar to a timeshare” in luxury styled underground bunkers (artistic rendering above). Amenities include a hospital, dental clinic, move theater, and (judging from schematics available on their website) a bank of desktop computers. Great, I’m glad to know I can check Facebook while I’m waiting out the apocalypse.

    It’s a great idea but people be realistic.  If we were to have some form of doomsday on earth a year of food would not be enough, 40 feet beneath the ground is not deep enough.  Take into consideration breathable air, it would take more than a year supply if what they are showing you in the video were to happen.  That sort of doomsday event would take more like many years to clean the air and how would you get to this shelter in time…. do you think the government is gong to say, wait you have 3 days to get to were you have to go before this big nasty astroid hits earth and kills millions of people.   Your all dead and the ones who have taken your $50,000. are in some form a real  protected shelter and do we say the rich get richer and more powerful…  Plus I don’t think anyone would be safe on earth.  My thoughts….
