celsius and thus it is raining black ice. What males it so dangerous, is the fact
that you don’t expect extreme weather conditions. But what looks like rain,

The USA have a big problem. The problem is money. The USA is missing 16
trillion of it actually. So what’s the way to solve this misery? One thing might
be the issue of a platinum coin with a nominal value of, let’s say 1 trillion.
