Impenetrable?

Ain't no such thing.

The only question is what kind of threat is mitigated, and for how long.

And that's assuming they'll have the manpower to defend those fortresses. Which, given their belief we're moving towards the societal collapse (of their making), isn't a given.

Quote[1]: What I came to realise was that these men are actually the losers. The billionaires who called me out to the desert to evaluate their bunker strategies are not the victors of the economic game so much as the victims of its perversely limited rules. More than anything, they have succumbed to a mindset where “winning” means earning enough money to insulate themselves from the damage they are creating by earning money in that way. It’s as if they want to build a car that goes fast enough to escape from its own exhaust.

In the end, who'd want to stick up for those losers?

Tsar Nicholas II had great fortresses. So did Nicolae Ceaușescu.

Worked out swimmingly for both of them.
