Absolutely one of the best columns ever; right out of all those survivor/bug out novels I have read. Try the ones by Cliff Deane on Amazon; realistic stuff. What Bill missed out on (the meat issue) is that domestic rabbits are delicious; multiple quickly; and provide arguably the best protein source in the new world. People band together and start communities. Protecting oneself (guns and ammo) from the hoards of really bad hoards of "takers" becomes key along with growing other stuff to eat. Biden knows nothing of this; Trump does. Enough reason to vote for Trump along with just knowing what Biden has done to the security of this country with an open border. Time to toss him to the curb. And Jill can go and stare in the mirror and say, "Mirror Mirror on the wall,,, I am a Doctor After All" -- whatever.
May the world end with only two survivors: Bill Gates and Rachel Levine, who as luck would have it, are the Adam and Eve of our world's comic book future. This time, however, the forbidden fruit is a Brunswick bowling ball inscribed with the message, "Eat me."
Adam and Eve: some wag said opined that - if Adam and Eve had been Cajuns, they would have eaten the snake, rather than the apple, and creation would have been perfect.
04/09/24: "Doctor" Jill!!! Bill needs to get his Dolly Parton moobs paved over (a billion dollars would be the going rate). Or we could have a Baltimore tanker crash into them and get Sam to pay for the clean-up. And a splendid satire, Mr. Surber. The only thing missing was Swift's Irish Bidens eating their own on Election Day 2024 (sponsored by "Potato Famine Crisps").
I PRAY THAT WHATEVER the man eats today will put him out of his misery. He has ruined his reputation as a normal human being, he has ruined any hope of having a family, love, honor, integrity. He is an alien in the middle of his own country, a mindless wad of hatred who cannot recognize he has destroyed himself. I believe that God is teaching him the lessons he needs in order to survive his future.
This little story of “Bill, and the End of Everything”, provokes the question which always plagues me: just where do all these self-righteous planet savers think all their ingenious plans are going to lead to?
I’ll tell you. No energy, no food, no warmth, no nothing but sheer misery for all. And that’s while bombs are dropping everywhere just to add to the horrors they’ve created.
Sure, build your bunker to hide in when the whole thing gets real ugly, real fast. But what kind of existence is that? Is that where they really want this all to end up?
What are they thinking, really, or do they even think at all?
These are mostly rhetorical questions because it is more than apparent that they are all some mixture of extremely arrogant ignorance, stark-raving and certifiably mad, and diabolically evil. There can be no other explanation.
"Extremely arrogant ignorance"--good phrase. I keep coming back to the question--Why? Why is this extreme arrogance such a prominent characteristic today on the Left? And the answer that I keep coming back to is-- the decline of spirituality.
When one has a spiritual grounding, one finds their identity, their value, their worth, their "place in the universe" in the marvelous creation of God. Their spirituality deepens and matures; they come to experience the Love and presence and consciousness of God, which feeds their soul and fills up their heart. Being "whole" in their heart and soul, they can look with love and appreciation at their fellow man, honoring each one's distinctive expression of God-given qualities. And spirituality brings with it a fundamental humility, in the recognition of the overriding glory of God.
But when one has turned their back on the spiritual dimension of reality, they have lost touch with the source of their true value and worth. So they chase substitutes to fill the void. Feeling superior to other people is one way they try to prop up their sense of worth, but it can end up consuming them. Their inner psyche is so fragile, that great defenses are built around the conviction that they are better, smarter, and more righteous than those stupid, awful people on the Right. Their 'defenses' shut out anything that would challenge their worldview, so they end up becoming entrenched in ignorance, while at the same time believing themselves to be smarter.
Such a level of insecurity, they keep themselves OUTSIDE of normal human, family, community interactions. That conplete lack of self-respect pushes them to being arrogant, brassy, loud and unmovable.... how does one get beyond that?
Do these billionaires really want to survive a post apocalyptic world? The people outside the bunkers will be much more resourceful than the guys in the bunker. They will wait for the head to pop out.
Sure they are smart but to amass that kind of wealth there is an awful lot of luck involved. Played golf with a billionaire (not DJT) several times and he admitted as much. But was kind of funny...once he realized I wasn't worth half a billion he wanted nothing to do with me. LOL.
A brilliant column Don. The problem for all those who will emerge from their “Rat Caves,” is the skills that made them wealthy are useless in the real world. If they bring “servants” with them guess who will be running the show when the doors open? The only Gates Bill will see in the future are the ones to Hell. FJB
Your comment made me think of the short story, "The Admirable Crichton". It's about a bunch of English aristocrats who are ship-wrecked on a desert island and Crichton, the butler, ends up as the leader given that the aristocrats have zero practical skills. The author is the same man who wrote Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie.
It reminds me of a story I heard during Y2K. Martin, was noticing that his neighbor Jim was loading his house up with supplies, including food and water prior to the turn of the century. He went over and started talking to Jim and said hey what’s going on brother. Jim turned to and said hey Martin, haven’t you heard of Y2K? Aren’t you going to get prepared? Martin said “I am prepared Jim, if the s**t hits the fan, I’m going to come over to your house shoot you in the head, F your wife and take your food.” Needless to say Martin and Jim never talked again.
Bill Gates as representative of the Marxist left is brilliant.
I know it is intended to be satire/parody, but it all too vividly portrays the smug, relativistically morally superior and hypocritical scolds who are bent on saving everyone else from themselves. It's as entertaining as something one might find in, The 'Bee!
I'm guessing Bill Gates wouldn't have any bullets in the gun even if they were legit Brownies, and considering what a perv he is, would be just fine and dandy if they were trannies.
Someone once said that the road to Hell was paved with good intentions. Actually, the good intentions were just the base layer of the road. The top layer is unintended consequences. Those unintended consequences will bite you in the butt every time.
Don, thanks for a creative glimpse at a Bill Gates dystopian future that, hopefully, we will avoid. BTW, just thinking about Gates's moobs made me vote for Sydney's boobs as a form of eye bleach.

Just musing here.
Well said!!
Hubris: arrogant defiance in the face of God.
Never ends well.
I love you, Suzie! Perfect and simple.
“Why is this extreme arrogance such a prominent characteristic today on the Left?”
It goes back to recognizing leftists as narcissistic sociopaths, or as others say, liberalism is a mental illness.
These are people who are totally self-absorbed who think they know better than anyone how YOU should live your life.
Perfect assessment Shrugged.
Such a level of insecurity, they keep themselves OUTSIDE of normal human, family, community interactions. That conplete lack of self-respect pushes them to being arrogant, brassy, loud and unmovable.... how does one get beyond that?
Thanks Suzie. Now I don't have to comment. You said it all.
You babies (channelling The George Buckley jivein on THE NAZ, and on The Hip Gan) look around yousefs! What you made?
You forgot the part where people hiding in caves beg the rocks to fall on them and save them from God's wrath. (Rev 6:15-16)
Do these billionaires really want to survive a post apocalyptic world? The people outside the bunkers will be much more resourceful than the guys in the bunker. They will wait for the head to pop out.
they're the smartest guys in the world.....snark!
Sure they are smart but to amass that kind of wealth there is an awful lot of luck involved. Played golf with a billionaire (not DJT) several times and he admitted as much. But was kind of funny...once he realized I wasn't worth half a billion he wanted nothing to do with me. LOL.
You lucked out, didn't you. Money has an unpleasant smell, sometimes (I've been told).
Did he also go to HBS (Harvard Business School) ? LOL.
Actually he did!! LOL.

I prefer the word "mitties."
Moobs and mitties. I’ve increased my vocabulary by two. ( And killed I don’t know how many brain cells in the process)
Increasing one's vocabulary never results in the death of brain cells. And of course, some have lots to spare.
Thx for explaining my joke to me. I’m smarter now.
Please enlighten me - what are Moobs & what are Mitties? Or should that be who are Noobs & Mitties?
I should have known to read the comments first!!!
Mansier or the Bro (Frank Costanza in Seinfeld)?
I learn things here every day.
This must be the female-originated term?
BWAHAHA best description EVER!

Sydney Sweeny's have it all over Gates'.
POLL: The boobs were fake; Bill's moobs are real (and losing the war with gravity). He needs a "man bra".
A Bro, or, Mansiere!
I am afraid the banjo music is going to be playing in my head all day.
"Tell Tchaikovsky the news." Easter egg!
Thanks for sending me there. I think.
Geesh, now I got to look up moob. I’m going to be late for work again.
Clyde Crashcup! How do you remember all that stuff? You must have one of those photogenic memories.
a memory that looks good in photographs?
Ever heard of Norm Crosby?
NO
"Oh a few primitive tribes and hillbillies survived, as did Cher and Keith Richards."
Love this humor! Now that we've made it through the eclipse without calamity, I guess we can move on to WWIII.
I'm guessing Bill Gates wouldn't have any bullets in the gun even if they were legit Brownies, and considering what a perv he is, would be just fine and dandy if they were trannies.
The picture of Gates cannot be unseen.
April fools column…more to follow….sad April only has 30 days this leap year….

we will all need more Eye Bleach... what a great idea!
