Let’s buy a bunker

Welcome to the WC, wherein you’re trapped in my mind for eight to ten minutes weekly.

Record Scratch

Last week, I asked y’all what you like better — quick hits with interesting stuff or long-form dives into whatever’s on my mind. Unsurprisingly, less is more.

So, I’m going to play around with the format of the WC over the next couple of weeks:

Love what I’m doing? Let me know.

Hate it? I guess you can let me know that, too.

Let’s go. 🚀

Per my note above, which you probably didn’t read, we’re trying something different with the WC this week:

Bourbon’s got a hangover.

My childhood bedroom

Stefan wants to schedule a whisky-tasting trip in April (send us a message if you want to join), which is always great.

Not great? The bourbon market lately.

The hangover jokes write themselves, but the Kentucky spirit has fallen on hard times after the pandemic boom, with consumption down 4% in the US last year.

The weather is f*cking with your real estate

Regardless of how you feel about climate change, it’s undeniable that the number of major weather-related disasters is increasing — and they’re becoming increasingly more costly.

I ​warned​ everyone (who read the article) about this two years ago, and people keep moving to Florida and Texas.

What do we do about it now?

Propagandopolis: A Century of Propaganda from Around the World

I’m fascinated by propaganda as an art form. Often, it’s very beautiful, even the stuff that’s blatant and transparent.

If the point of art is to make you reflect on an idea and possibly change your mind, is all art a form of propaganda?

The Rise and Rise of the Armageddon Industry

I love the armageddon industry.

It’s got everything you need to make an insane amount of money.

  • Driven by irrational fear.
  • Crazy high ticket prices.
  • People are willing to pay whatever it costs.

It’s like selling educational toys to new parents.

Bunkers are the ultimate prestige purchase for fabulously wealthy preppers. They range from “$20,000 to multimillions, averaging $500,000, and installations—they can go just about anywhere.”

And sales continue to rise.

With such an unpredictable president in the White House, would you bet against the Armageddon Industrial Complex?

That’s all for this week; I hope you enjoyed it.

Cheers,

Wyatt
