Steve Jobs reports on Al Gore's New Venture...

"... which is this Kleiner-funded company that's buying up all this land in the mountains and building these big compounds up there for when the global warming floods start and the coastal regions get destroyed. High-elevation fortified housing, it's called. HEFs is the nickname. Basically big bunkers up in the Rockies that are super expensive and basically look like really nice ski houses but can be converted into bunkers when the muggles get washed out of their houses and there's no food and no fuel and they all come scrambling up into the mountains because they've heard the rich folks are up there with supplies. Fifty million a pop for a starter home but you'll have a huge food stockpile and walls that can't be pierced by rockets. Active defense -- which means machine guns, rocket launchers, a weapons cache, plus a security team to operate the gear -- costs extra but is totally worth it, Al says.

"We're already taking orders," Al says. "Tipper and I are building ours in Idaho. We'd love to have you as neighbors. It's gonna be bad, Steve. Real bad. I know it's hard to imagine but I've seen the charts and the graphs and we're talking about a global catastrophe. Picture it. You've got millions of displaced persons flooded out of their homes, and they're out there on the roads. They're starving. There's people dying. The power grid is down. The ATMs have stopped working. It's like Mad Max. Or that Cormac McCarthy novel. Have you read that book? It's amazing." -- The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: Al Gore says he's terrified for Obama

this bunker thing is a great idea for Al and might just get him out of our neighborhood! $50,000,000 isn't too much to ask, is it?

Why shouldn't Al copy Hitler in building a mountaintop bunker/palace? He can always name it Berghof II.
