About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and lessons from luxury bunker developments, focusing on Vivos xPoint in South Dakota.

The rich and famous are building million dollar bunkers. Developers are creating bunker condos or luxury Bug Out Locations in underground (former) military sites. One such developer project: Vivos xPoint in South Dakota has only a small population of year round residents thus far, but it has already begun to suffer troubles, both physical and legal. The whole project looks like it will fail. What lessons might we all learn from xPoint about bunkerism and community? Mic, Jeff, and Brian share their thoughts and suggestions. Links: Futurism article: Apocalypse Bunker Failure — Wallstreet Journal story on same community (behind paywall, if you have it) Another Futurism article on the rich buying/building bunkers generally.
