Vent it all so we have to start mining it from Uranus (don't laugh, I'm serious). That's about 1000 tonnes of liquid helium, or about the volume of the Starship/SuperHeavy launch vehicle.

200 helium containers are stranded in the Persian Gulf right now. Each one holds 41,000 liters cooled to -269°C. The containers have no refrigeration. No compressor, no cooling loop. Insulation is all that stands between the cargo and ambient heat, and it buys 35 to 48 days. After that, the liquid boils, the pressure valve opens, and the helium vents to atmosphere. Re-liquefying it requires a specialized plant. Most ports do not have one. Qatar's North Field supplied 33% of the world's helium as a byproduct of cryogenic separation at its LNG plants. On March 2, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Spot prices surged 70 to 100 percent. EUV lithography requires 99.9999% purity helium for wafer cooling and no current substitute exists. The fifth helium shortage since 2006 has just begun.

the neoliberal mindset is more that we already live like royalty and don't appreciate it enough, and should appreciate and recognize the systems that make it possible

The very top of the wealth distribution is really the only group that truly benefits from this system. That said, I actually like your argument because it aligns closely with the mindset of neoliberal voters, which I’ve often mentioned when talking about the working-class right-wing vote. People tend to believe that under capitalism, they too can become rich…

My last post seems to have angered both the socialists and the extreme right.
It's almost like nationalism and socialism go hand in hand. 🤔

@CacheThatCheque The about face on Japan has been incredible in Korea. Havnt heard “they deserved it” ☢️ in a couple years now.

There are a record 4.12m foreigners now living in Japan. Coming to Japan has worked out well for me: I have PR, a house, a family, and have achieved a decent level of wealth. But if making money is your goal, I’d go elsewhere than Japan at 160 yen/ USD

Good. We don't need massive tripwire forces in Germany anymore; it's no longer 1985.
Streamline our presence in Europe & shift it eastward to where it matters.

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)
Director Joseph Sargent watched the film for the first time in 30 years for this commentary. The opening shots contain several beautiful matte paintings created by the legendary Albert Whitlock.

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) This underrated sci-fi thriller didn’t just imagine AI taking over, it shows exactly how humanity loses control…and never gets it back. Still terrifying on every rewatch. Directed by Joseph Sargent (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three).
