      Good news everyone! Lifetimes will automatically be adjusted to ensure these events will remain “once in a lifetime”.

      Wait, that's not good news at all

      Who’s lifetime have we measuring this off of? Because it seems like we keep picking short-lived people. Maybe they are being killed by these disasters, which create somewhat of a paradox.

    Can’t wait to read this headline twice a year for the rest if my life.

      Then we get to wait for the real once in a lifetime event.

      Which is extinction.

    Maybe, just maybe, Brazil shouldn’t keep chopping down rainforest to extract iron/oil and grow soybean/chicken/cow? Brazil needs to rapidly industrialized their economy because resource exploitation is clearly unsustainable.

    Recently, Chinese companies have started to rapidly expand their Brazilian manufacturing footprint, but it’s not enough.
