Yellowstone Ready To Blow

[pErvinalia]

When it goes I want to be standing on the edge of the caldera watching.

"Edge of the caldera" includes most of the continental USA, so I guess all you have to do is live long enough and not go on any foreign holidays.


PS. Rev's reply was Waaaaay too easy!

Seth doesn't go overseas. Too many Marxists..

Jellystone can blow out a crater 1000km across, and it wouldn't slow Las Vegas down, much less Chicago, San Fransisco, or LA. Seattle and Portland are upwind. Billings and Bozeman, Salt Lake, are toast. Denver? In the lee, but buried in dust. Spokane, Boise? Never were much to start with. Rapid City, Sioux Falls? Bye. Minneapolis, Des Moines, KC, Oak City? Clean up in a fortnight.
A few years of cold winters, some nice sunsets. No worse than Krakatoa. America dramatically reduces dependence on corn products after going cold turkey, temporarily annexes Mexico to ease the demand for Central Valley truck and orchard crops.

Wer Auld DOOMED, DOOMED, I tells ya.

I doubt this will affect world gin production, so I remain unalarmed...

It will in a way. If the price of grain goes up, the raw cost of gin production goes up.
I don't know where the Juniper comes from, but it will probably be affected in some way.

Then, if the world population gets reduced, the size of the gin market will shrink. But that means demand will drop, so maybe prices will as well.
The demand for energy might drop, while the producers are unaffected. So costs generally might fall.

I wonder if volcanic ash is worth anything? Might be some new industries springing up around it.

I think it makes an effective building cement as used by the Romans...I could be wrong.

Well, the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history would appear to be Mt. Tambora, which ejected an estimated 38 cubic miles of crap into the air...causing global chaos.
By comparison, the last Yellowstone eruption ejected something like 240 cubic miles...

Well when it happens, don't try to make out like it's our fault. We bought Yellowstone from France.

You better have a root around, and see if you've still got the guarantee.

Well, we also got etouffee and jambalaya, so we might have to forgive them for one little volcano.
