I find it fascinating that “hiring private security” is often at the top of the checklist when it comes to the Billionaire Bugout Bucket list.
Makes total sense,
Surround yourselves with strangers from “outside the inner sanctum” that you pay for loyalty. Extra bodies you have to provision extra food, water, supplies, for.
Acquire larger transportation platforms to move around with, and carve out extra space in “your doomsday bunker” for accommodating your loyal (much scaled down, of course) cannon fodder.
This is a complete losing strategy on so many levels, from the extra footprint you’ll leave moving around with your private army, the drain on supplies and provisions, and ultimately…even IF you survive the “Coming Appocalypse”, and those supply caches begin dwindling down in your hidey holes…who do you think, Mr. Global, will be sipping the last bottles of water and eating the final MRE style rations in your cache…you, or the surviving members of your troupe with all the weapons and the training to use them? o_O
