They are actually used for a lot of things, from generating energy to a type of fabricated wood product like OSB. Being organic I don't believe it goes to the landfill.
I've used rice hulls in homemade fireworks.
Adds bulk when you've got a small amount of powder in a large tube.

Yup, The fields are flooded to a few inches deep after they are seeded and there are little dikes around the outside to hold it in. Perlite is strip mined from what I have read, not the best for the environment I agree.
Look pretty much like Cranberry bogs in Wisconsin.

Dr shopping at it's finest?

Out of his lane,
in search of a brain,
in an arid wasteland lacking cognition.

No, I don't know much at all about the Klondike gold rush. In addition to the book you mentioned, also reserved the following at the library. Berton wrote a few books on the subject. Thanks ;)

Klondike women : true tales of the 1897-98 Gold Rush / Melanie J. Mayer

The Klondike quest : a photographic essay, 1897-1899 / written and edited by Pierre Berton ; photographic research by Barbara Sears.

The Floor of heaven : a true tale of the last frontier and the Yukon gold rush / Howard Blum.

The Klondike fever : the life and death of the last great gold rush / by Pierre Berton.
If you've not looked into this one you really should - the first time the Mounties used an aircraft to corner a fugitive & this dude was cagey & tougher than nails
I promise you won't find it disappointing.

Considering the consequences of the virus avoidance might be the better psychological defense mechanism to deploy.
A friend of a friend fears he gave covid to his father who was on his last leg in the hospital as of Friday. That is the closest it has come to me so far.
The guy I know tried to tell him to take it seriously but didn't get through to him. So many people are going to live with regrets when it hits home.

My favorite part was the ending.
How can you help someone who may be in denial?
Lead by example.

One thing I learned early on was, "The patient is the one with the disease." I rest easier with that thought no matter the 'disease'.
