    I foresee this escalating and getting worse, leading to some catastrophic nonsense that puts our species to shame in only a matter of months.

    We’re running out of helium, the strategic oil reserves are at most 20% of what’s needed, and now that wells are capped it’s to take months to get back.

    As this continues Trump will get madder, dementia-ier, and try and escalate more.

      We aren’t running out of Helium. The date at which a specific reservoir gets sold is coming closer.

        Technically we are. We won’t be out in our lifetimes, to my knowledge, but we aren’t making more helium. Once its gone, its gone. So, it is running out, but on what time scale?

        When will the human race start slowing down? Its eventually just going to get crazy expensive and only used when vital. And we’re filling party balloons with it.
