The summary of the conversation revolves around the concept of the "Purge" - a fictional event where all crime, including murder, becomes legal for one night. The conversation discusses various strategies for surviving the Purge, with different solutions tailored to different income levels.
The speaker begins by discussing the popularity of the Purge series, produced by Blum House Productions, which has achieved commercial success despite its low-budget production. The Purge series, which includes movies and a TV show, is based on the premise of a single night where all crimes, including murder, are legal. The Purge movies have grossed over half a billion dollars in profits for Blum House.
The speaker then goes into detail about the Purge, discussing its rules and conditions. The Purge is a 12-hour period from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM on the night of March 21st. During this time, all crimes, including murder, are legal. The Purge is sold to the public as a way to reduce crime by giving the public one night a year where they can purge all the criminal feelings they have. However, the real purpose of the Purge is to eliminate the poor to decrease government spending.
The speaker then presents five different strategies for surviving the Purge, tailored to different income levels. For the wealthy, the solution is to leave the country. For those who can't afford to fly or take time off work, the best option is to buy a boat and wait out the Purge on the water. For those who can't afford a boat and live in highly populated areas, the best option is to hide in a dumpster. The speaker concludes by stating
1. Blum House Productions is a company known for producing low-budget films with huge profit margins.
2. An example of this strategy is the film "Paranormal Activity," which had a budget of just $15,000 but grossed almost $200 million worldwide.
3. Blum House has continued with their strategy ever since and is now a household name in the horror genre with titles such as "Insidious," "Happy Deathday," "Get Out," and most recently "Halloween."
4. In 2013, Blum House released their biggest hit yet, "The Purge," which was a huge box-office success and even found its way into pop culture.
5. "The Purge" movies and a TV show have been made, totaling over half a billion dollars in profits for Blum House.
6. The popularity of these films stems entirely from James DeMonaco's genius premise: one night a year, all crime, especially murder, becomes legal.
7. During the purge, government officials of ranking 10 are granted immunity from the purge and shall not be harmed again.
8. The real purpose of the purge is to eliminate the poor in order to decrease government spending because the poorest Americans are the largest burden on taxpayers each year.
9. The purge was sold to the public as a way to reduce crime by giving the public one night a year where they can purge all the criminal feelings they have.
10. The unofficial rule of the purge is that there are roaming battalions of the military killing off as many people as they can.
11. If someone wants to kill you, even if you have a powerful security system, there's virtually no way to stop someone from breaking into your home if they're determined enough.
12. The best way for surviving depends on your level of income. For the wealthy, the solution for beating the purge is to leave the country.
13. For those who can't afford to fly or take time off work, a cheaper option would be to buy a boat and park your car and walk straight into the forest for the night.
14. The forest blocks line-of-sight, keeping you entirely hidden, and it also muffles any sounds.
15. The Magellan Explorer's 310 is a bargain at $160, but you absolutely do not want to bring a tent and a sleeping bag because in the unlikely scenario that someone does find you, you want to be able to see them coming and you definitely don't want to be asleep.
16. The Cobra Arms Freedom 380 handgun is the cheapest gun on the market at $127. It probably isn't very durable or as accurate as its more expensive rivals, but it's lightweight, which makes it easy to carry, and it has very little recoil.
17. If you live in states like Nebraska or the Dakotas and get off work at 3:00 or 4:00 p.m., there probably isn't enough time to get to a forest before the purge begins.
18. If someone sees your car on the side of the road, it essentially tells them that there is someone within walking distance. A truly skilled person may be able to track you down simply by using your car as a starting point.
19. The chances of someone tracking you down in the wilderness are highly unlikely, but if your life is on the line, it's something worth considering.
20. If this happens, you will have your gun as a last resort. This is not the best solution on this list, but it is one of the cheapest. If you have absolutely no money whatsoever, you're homeless.
