@TheNewsOwl Simpsons bowing to china so sad

@TheNewsOwl The article on helium is particularly important. Helium cannot be manufactured and is a nonrenewable resource.
A statistic in another article noted that all of the helium m used in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloons would only be enough for 2 MRI machines. Helium is the only gas that will get the magnets cold enough for the MRI and other uses. To sell off our reserves would create a critical problem for many industries including military and nuclear.
