I think the situation in Honduras and most of central america is different than what you think.

Once we shrink it, powering space going vessels by fusion becomes reasonable which lowers the cost and time it takes to get places. Suddenly mars and Venus become reasonable for exploitation along with NEOs and earth Trojans.
Plus it wouldn't be that far fetched to make artificial cosmic rays and turn carbon or oxygen into lithium, which will soon be a bottle neck mineral.

Reply to comment by Aarcn in Is the Milky Way... Normal? by cciccitrixx
Yes but not because of Andromeda. The start of the Andromeda/milky way merger is about five billion years away. The sun becomes a red giant in six billion years, but it is getting hotter and larger as it approaches, the last non- random number I saw put water evaporating on earth about 1.75 billion to 3 billion years from now. Needless to say this wouldn't be good for humanity.
Both those numbers are also estimates. Very good estimates, but estimates none the less. So even if we survive water becoming dust there is a chance we will be consumed by the sun before Andromeda merges.
The merger itself while interesting probably won't do much to our system besides shaking up our neighborhood. Unless of course we are one the unfortunates to be ejected. Though all that will do is make the night sky dimmer.

I don't know article says non bank entity specifically referencing pension funds. I do know banks are regulated and there other financial institutions that don't have the same restrictions as banks.

But these are all non-bank financial entities (mostly pension funds)

Reply to comment by WazWaz in Why not use hydrogen and deuterium in fusion reaction rather than tritium and deuterium? by Curious_user4445
A kilogram of Uranium can generate ~24 terrawatt hours. World reserves of Uranium is 8,000,000 tonnes (8 billion kilograms) . 192 billion terrawatt hours. Worldwide electrical consumption is 23 thousand terrawatt hours.
It would take roughly 6.26 million years to burn through uranium reserves.

When you do the reaction as dt you are left with a neutron. This neutron can be used with lithium to convert certain hydrogen into tritium basically.

It is effected by how voting is setup. For instance reducing the number of urban voting locations.

HXNX is a way of indentfying large families of Orthomyxoviridae in particular alphainfluenza betainfluenza gammainfluenza and deltainfluenza, the four 'families' of bird/mammalian flus (often just called a,b,c,d) I forget off hand the exact proteins it refers to, but all of the viruses have one of four of them so H1N3 viruses tend to behave similar to each other but different from H1N2.
H1N1 is an alpha virus, that different strains have caused several major pandemics including the Swine Flu. It is an avian virus usually, but some strains are endemic in humans and it is often the flu-a vaccine for a year.
1918 flu is an outlier as was the '83? '82? Russian pandemic novel. The 2008 was slightly more lethal than normal but not more contagious.
