    If you want to see what the end of days may look like, some of the apocalyptic scenes coming out of Australia recently are a good place to start.

    I personally hope our end arrives with a Big Bang-like scenario out of nowhere (or a giant dust storm), or else social media in the days leading up to the end of the world is going to be insufferable.

    No, person I met once eight years ago who somehow found me on Facebook, I don’t care much for your ‘life lessons ahead of the end of the world’ post.

    Also, just WhatsApp your special person and tell them you love them – you don’t need to profess your love publicly. We believe you.

    Anyway, the business of preparing the rich for the apocalypse is a lucrative one, and luxury bunkers can fetch a pretty penny.

    Real estate is only part of the business, though, which VICE News took a closer look at:

    Throughout human history, doomsayers — people predicting the end of the world — have lived largely on the fringes of society. Today, a doomsday industry is booming thanks to TV shows, movies, hyper-partisan politics, and the news media. With the country’s collective anxiety on the rise, even the nation’s wealthiest people are jumping on board, spending millions of dollars on survival readiness in preparation for unknown calamities.

    Some of it makes sense, and some of it seems to be the folly of people with more money than sense.

    You can decide which is which:

    It’s their money, I guess, but this could also be used as another example of why the rich should be more heavily taxed.
