If we are running out of helium, why is it still used to inflate party balloons?
gpt
The helium "shortage" is simply from the decision to sell off the Federal Reserves within the decade. It, by no means, mean we're running out of it. Although helium is continually lost through atmospheric escape, it's also a ~~natural by-~~ derived product from natural gas production.

Also, inflating party balloons is a very, very small percentage of helium consumption.

Edit: For clarity.
