Before it supernovas, Yellowstone will erupt and erase the least used 1/3rd of the USA. So think globally, die locally.

But the good news is that disaster will bring the world together. The world will come together and heal the world will enter a golden age. And dying to redeem everyone is so on-brand for us that It's perfect.

Same as with climate change!

The only thing bringing this world together is continental drift. We're on our way back to Pangea, just very, very slowly.

Yellowstone may not ever erupt again if the Rockies move over the hotspot before it does. Or it may be millions of years until it is east of them.
