      I lived through the Tohoku earthquake and radiological disaster (fortunately for me, I was far enough from the coast not to have to experience the tsunami).

      Once things had settled down enough for people to have any idea of what was going on and what we needed to do, it was the elderly who volunteered to go into the nuclear reactor. They knew that they would die but also that they didn’t have long left anyway, so they should sacrifice themselves for their communities and the country.

      I think if I had an approaching deadline, I might do the same.

    Elon Musk was the sole funder of a super PAC formed in the final weeks of the election that spent millions on ads claiming Donald Trump’s position on abortion was aligned with that of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
