There is a shortage of Helium.





In the future, children will not have a floating balloon. That is, unless someone comes up with something that will work. It would have to be something that would work safely and cheaply. If you can invent this, you will make a lot of money. Perhaps people should invest in a helium stock. Is there one? I don't know. It seems like a good idea, since there seems to be a shortage.
