What exactly is 328 years of anything? Are they saying we consume X tons, and we have found 328×X tons? Or is there some sort of future consumption estimations or trend lines accounted for? Is this all functionally available, or can we only access 20 years worth of it economically and banking on future extraction improvements? With thay large of a supply I would expect economic viability of further extraction would diminish over time.

Considering he said it wasn't the brain, I'd bet good money that it was a head scan of some type. Probably looking for signs of a stroke, age related diseases like dementia or alzheimer, brain shrinkage, or other conditions worth monitoring in the brain.

Remember what happened when Brownback experimented with heavy tax cuts in their experiment? It was an unmitigated disaster and led to them electing a democratic governor the next term.

His corpse will be paraded around long enough for Steven Miller et al to implement as much fascist bullshit they can to sieze enough power. Then trump will be worshiped as the second coming of Reagan for the next 50 years. Republicans love idolizing those you cause the most lasting damage to the county.

Half of all days in which the government has been shut down have occurred while trump is president.

If government shutdowns shut down everything (no usps mail delivery, no social security, no ice, no border crossings, no Medicare authorization, no air travel, etc) then they would never exist because it would become significant degradation in everyones quality of life.

I quit in bfa when my guild stopped raiding, came back for shadowlands, and while having a miserable time in the middle of a LFR I thought to myself "why am I playing this?" Then quit because it was just a checklist of chores I didn't really enjoy.
