How can they ever be safe in their bunkers while relying on outside sources for food, water, medicine, toilet paper, soap, etc.?

No matter how much they stockpile, it will run out or rot.

The humans who will survive will not be billionaires. They will be humans who have handy skills like growing food, building things with their own hands, knowledge instead of soundbites, ability to cook and clean.

The Billionaire Bunkers may have a problem with their security staff when they get hungry.
