Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruptions Even Bigger Than Originally Thought (csmonitor.com)
schwit1 writes: A recent study published in the Geological Society of America Bulletin identifies an area of great volcanic activity along the Snake River Plain between Oregon and Yellowstone. While scientists have long known that the supervolcano now under Yellowstone left a trail of mega-eruptions across the Pacific Northwest, an international research team has found evidence of only 12 distinct eruptions, contradicting earlier theories that the eruptions were more numerous and less extreme.
"The size and magnitude of this newly defined eruption is as large, if not larger, than better known eruptions at Yellowstone," said the study's lead author, Dr. Thomas Knott, in a University of Leicester press release, "and it is just the first in an emerging record of newly discovered super-eruptions during a period of intense magmatic activity between 8 and 12 million years ago."
If Yellowstone blows, everything else facing mankind is bullshit in comparison.
Considering what he did to his son, I don't need that type of BDSM love.
Sander's is the closest the U.S. has ever come to electing someone who isn't dedicated to funneling the labor of 99% into the coffers of the 1%.
The problem is, socialism tries to accomplish that by destroying any way for that 99% to become part of the 1%. Making everyone (except the 1% - more on that) equal by punishing success doesn't work. Ask Venezuela. Ask Greece. Or Detroit. Hell ask the Soviet Union - oh wait, you can't. It failed so bad it's fucking gone.
And socialism hardly does anything to get rid of the 1% - after all, who better to tell the 99% how to live than the "deserving" 1% - especially if the 1% is mostly sheltered whites with a few token brown people tossed in? Limousine liberals are hardly giving up their Manhattan condos or their CA homes to us unwashed masses.
