If she thinks that $21 trillion, or about two-thirds of the US GDP, can manage to fall through the cracks, I don't think I'd want her managing my investments.

With black budgets over the course of decades? I could see it.

Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing between 1989 and 1990,

Worked there for a year. The lady is talking not from firsthand experience, she is referencing someone's 2017 research.

We could use a relatively low amount of resources to save the worldmfor everyone or we can just invest insane amounts of resources on destroying the world and making a survival bunker for a very select few.

That is, of course, if this is real. An enormous bunker like this requires a huge amount of people to work on it, drilling, pouring concrete, installing plumbing, electricity, networks, computers... You don't build a Doomsday bunker and have bone of your employees or providers babble about it, especially if it's (as per usual) the cheapest of the cheapest providers

I know there are a lot more people with many more loose lips, but somehow cracking the enigma code and the Manhattan project maintained secrecy somehow. I guess.

Good point, though enigma had a relative small amount of people involved, especially compared to the Manhattan project.

Here though it would be different, too many low level contractors involved that would see too many things. With the Manhattan project they could separate people enough so that nobody had a complete picture, here that is veryuch harder

And yet they're still doing it.

There were Russians imbedded in the Manhattan project though...

So which vault do you want to be in OP?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll be a Gary, I guess.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A solid choice as any.

If I remember right there was an open sex one right? (Not the weird cult one from the show) 5 days later lol I should've picked the sex one. That's better than being a clone, which is better than most vaults.

Did she confuse 'Paradise' with a documentary?
