Not just for chipmakers, but for mris
yeah, but it's not like you can get healthcare in the burger reich anyways
Well, yes. This affects the whole world though.
we all have the empire to blame for all the stupid wars
yeah for sure, it's not gonna be fun for the next few years at least
Nice. Squeeze em out
Squeezing sparks wars; the biggest example had to be the oil squeezing that was perpetrated on imperial Japan and led directly to the pearl harbor bombing.
eh, they are already warmongering around the world because of their slow collapse. they brought this squeeze upon themselves by attacking iran out of the blue.
That's not good. China and Qatar together produce about 35% of the worlds helium. This coupled with Russia recently halting all diesel fuel exports until at least the end of July indicates to me that the next wave of ripples from the start of the Iran war are starting to arrive.
This is roughly the time line that experts suggested incidentally. There was a couple of month of backlog that was being cleared, and now it's gone and reserves are starting to get low. So, there's no way to hide fuel shortages or associated byproducts like helium now. Also a fun fact is that helium can't be stockpiled and relies on constant production.
Thats not true at all. The US is about 43%, and Qatar about 33%, Russia about 9%, and China less than 2%.
You are correct and I apologize for the incorrect number combining Qatar and China. While the us is one of the biggest helium producers if the US is trying to fill the gap that's happening from countries not being able to export or banning exports it's only going to continue to drive prices higher. Unless demand destruction occurs prices will continue to go higher in my opinion.
i mean its good that its bad for the empire
Death to Amerikkka.
