Agreed. Although I do not believe this trend will be consistent for the next 4-5 decades. The US will definitely get universal healthcare in at least 2 decades. Making constitutional amendments for such short term issues is short sighted in my opinion.
Covid has had a huge role in skewing this.
How dare the animals engage in such unnatural behavior!!! /s
No. Doing so would be very short sighted, considering that human life expectancy would be seeing a massive bump in the coming decades.

Yea, which is nothing. Plus altitude means nothing when u want to put stuff in orbit. It's the initial velocity that matters for an apparatus like this.
It's not the absurd amount of energy that's the problem. It's the absurd amount of energy that has to be STORED AND RELEASED within a fraction of a second in a controlled fashion.
If you wanna go electric, you would need a stupendous amount of capacitors and a gun that won't get destroyed due to the immense energy release.
If u wanna go chemical (like an actual gun), u r faced with the same problem of the gun exploding.
The only approach that MIGHT work is the Spinlaunch thing, where u essentially store this energy as angular momentum in a THICCC carbon fibre rod. Spinlaunch is still yet to demonstrate anything remarkable, so there's that.
I find it funny.
I really love how EVERYONE downvoted this. Like EVERYONE
See? I told u China has free speech! Zhang spoke freely without fear. She roams free in the country! I don't get why everyone hates the CCP. Racism I guess. Oh also, US bad. /s
