It's interesting, in the 60s, 70s and 80s with the looming threat of the cold war post-apocalyptic fiction often depicted a dark red sky filled with nuclear fallout, mutant humans roaming and a scorched earth that could never recover.

The 90s and 00s moved to less nuclear and lots of zombies, slow or fast, sometimes clever, variations on how zombies exist, and we started getting more of the human story around dealing with this new world. We'd also get a lot of baddies - horrible people who now thrive being in control with no accountability.

Now in the 10s and 20s it's a more subtle, less violent future. A lot of fiction revolves around a flu or illness that calmly just wipes out the majority of the population, and the ones left alive live in peace. A slower pace of life, going back to old ways of doing things.

The world is so intense now, there is so much information and bad news every moment. The escape is in a simple life. No capitalism, no baddies.

Large corporations are shopping for underground bunkers that can survive a nuclear blast, and the first adopters are mostly cryptocurrency firms, says @Semafor. The facilities are designed to protect data centers and C-suite execs, and cost tens of millions to build. The pitch? The apocalypse. "The more worries there are in the headline news, the more people look for solutions," Larry Hall, owner of Survival Condo said from his company's bunker in Kansas, a 54,000-square-foot space with a rock wall and hydroponics farm.

#FACTCHECK:

This program upgrades old #Nuclear Fission #warheads into newer Nuclear Fusion warheads, and generally maintains the current arsenal. It does NOT increase the supply of #NuclearWeapons, and newer Fusion warheads actually have FAR LESS #NuclearFallout than the old ones: this decreases the risk of #civilian exposure to nuclear elements, and #NuclearWinter.

This is an alternative to #Putin attempting to fire a #missile recently which malfunctioned and destroyed the entire launch site.

While nuclear weapons are a dangerous thing to have, and preferably should NEVER be used, #NATO keeps a supply for retaliatory purposes: Russia alone has more nuclear weapons than all of NATO combined.

NATO's nuclear weapons are only usable in specific, retaliatory and existential circumstances, such as a full-scale nuclear first-strike by Putin.

Either way, as having nuclear weapons is neither new nor exclusively #US policy, the claim that it increases the likelihood of #NuclearWar is FALSE.

Russia is seeking to militarily target three Ukrainian nuclear power plants, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told the United Nations. Putin really needs to google what directions the wind blows over Ukraine. Spoiler: the wind blows towards Russia, douchebag.
