Have just read in WaPo:
As basic health care grows unaffordable, the rich seek eternal youth
"Money is pouring into corporate efforts to increase the human life span, too. Alphabet Inc.’s Calico Labs is researching “the biology of aging and longevity.” The start-up Altos Labs, funded by private investors, is researching reprogramming cells to allow humans to turn back the clock.

The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypse
@JohnShirley2023 Well, if I had a billion or even 100 mil, I would be doing this.
All I can say is they'd better be thinking very carefully and hiring experts in various fields to help think everything through long-term. I think trouble is coming that's much worse than most people imagine. Apocalypse is a dramatic word but I think it will apply.
Surviving what I believe is coming will take a hell of a lot more than a good bunker and food supply. Survival for decades with no outside support gets real complicated even if there are no "bad actors" trying to take it away from you.
