If you had one, you&rsquo;d go there, too,&rdquo; Jones explained.<\/p>\n<p>(He no longer lives at that &ldquo;dream home.&rdquo;)<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Global security leaders are warning nuclear threats are growing as weapons spending surged to $91.4 billion last year,&rdquo; the AP reported. &ldquo;At the same time, private bunker sales are on the rise globally, from small metal boxes to crawl inside of to extravagant underground mansions.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Citing market research, the AP noted that &ldquo;buyers say bunkers offer a sense of security. The market for U.S. bomb and fallout shelters is forecast to grow from $137 million last year to $175 million by 2030.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;People are uneasy, and they want a safe place to put their family,&rdquo; Atlas Survival Shelters CEO Ron Hubbard told the AP. &ldquo;And they have this attitude that it&rsquo;s better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But do people actually &ldquo;need it&rdquo;? Experts are a bit more mixed on the efficacy of this booming industry.<\/p>\n<p>The AP explained, &ldquo;Critics warn these bunkers create a false perception that a nuclear war is survivable. They argue that people planning to live through an atomic blast aren&rsquo;t focusing on the real and current dangers posed by nuclear threats and the critical need to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Meanwhile, government disaster experts say bunkers aren&rsquo;t necessary. A Federal Emergency Management Agency 100-page guidance on responding to a nuclear detonation focuses on having the public get inside and stay inside, ideally in a basement and away from outside walls for at least a day. Those existing spaces can provide protection from radioactive fallout, says FEMA.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not these bunkers work, the fact that they&rsquo;re in demand currently says a lot about the current state of the world and how its covered in the news.<\/p>\n<p>Americans took notice when Biden approved Ukraine&rsquo;s use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/4-hostile-regimes-testing-joe-biden-during-his-first-months-in-office\/\" title=\"4 Hostile Regimes Testing Joe Biden During His First Months In Office\">longer-range missiles<\/a> in its ongoing conflict with Russia.

This isn&#8217;t merely talk; there are concrete sales figures to support this claim. A concerning report from the Associated Press indicates a dramatic increase in nuclear bunker shelter sales, driven largely by global events. Bernard Jones Jr. from California expressed to the AP, \u201cThe world\u2019s not becoming a safer place; we wanted to be prepared.\u201d He and his wife recently constructed their ideal home, which includes various desired features\u2014one of which is an unexpected hidden bunker with accommodations for around 25 people and self-sufficient utilities. The AP noted that with essential resources like water and food available, they felt equipped for any catastrophe, including a nuclear attack.<\/p>\n<p>Jones pointed out that in the event of a nuclear strike, most would prefer to seek refuge in a bunker rather than stay above ground (he no longer resides at that &#8220;dream home&#8221;). The AP reported that global security experts are increasingly concerned about rising nuclear threats as military spending reached $91.4 billion last year. Concurrently, private bunker sales are climbing worldwide\u2014from simple metal shelters to luxurious underground residences.<\/p>\n<p>According to market research cited by the AP, buyers view bunkers as providing security; projections suggest the U.S. bomb shelter market will grow from $137 million last year to $175 million by 2030. Ron Hubbard, CEO of Atlas Survival Shelters, stated that people feel anxious and desire safe havens for their families\u2014believing it\u2019s better to have such protection than not when needed.<\/p>\n<p>However, experts have mixed opinions on whether these bunkers are truly necessary or effective. Critics argue they foster an illusion of survivability in nuclear war while diverting attention from pressing issues related to weapons proliferation. Government disaster specialists assert that bunkers aren&#8217;t essential; FEMA&#8217;s guidance emphasizes staying indoors\u2014preferably in basements\u2014for at least one day after a nuclear event as existing structures can shield against radioactive fallout.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of their effectiveness or necessity, the current demand for bunkers reflects widespread concerns about global safety amid escalating tensions involving Russia and other nations like Iran and North Korea since Biden approved Ukraine&#8217;s use of long-range missiles against Russia\u2014a move perceived as provoking potential Russian nuclear threats<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2384431,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bomb-Shelter.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3620,47556,4185,47554,47555],"class_list":["post-2384430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden","tag-expert-warnings","tag-legacy","tag-nuclear-bunkers","tag-survivalism"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bomb-Shelter.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384430"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384434,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384430\/revisions\/2384434"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
