And or is geologically ridiculous. You can’t mine that much volume of a planet to where it would collapse. It would be more mass than all the starships the empire ever constructed

We might as well enjoy ourselves on the slide to oblivion
Did anyone else notice the Eyecandy ads in the long World Series game showed zoom ins of books talking about wet heaving bosoms?
Begin the countdown until Iran starts destroying tankers in the straits of Hormuz

For anyone concerned about a new administration opening up “new” regions to drill for oil and gas, just remember how Shell lit 7 Billion on fire ten years ago drilling offshore Alaska. It is not government policy but economics that protects places like ANWAR.
Salt water intrusion due to rising sea levels will make most coastal communities uninhabitable. If the underground salt water wedge moves further inland it raises the water table, kills vegetation, destroys infrastructure. If you are younger than 40, don’t settle near the coast
