US here: don’t even think about it. A Trump never pays their debts.
How much is that in beads and infected blankets?
-can’t find 1 person in El Salvador prison.
-promise to find everyone in greenland to give them 10k.
Suuuuure.
Why not? It’s just another promise.
Might as well give them glass beads considering the value of the land with its mineral deposits.
Glass beads may soon be worth more than US dollars if Drumpf gets to play economy like this for much longer.
Not everyone is going to take it, so why even do it? I don’t get it, am I retarded or is it retarded?
Oh come on, that is just really ridiculously sad
I’m sure you’ll find a few loser takers but the vast majority will see through this shit and just give you the finger.
Not to mention that greenland has, what, 60k inhabitants? At 10k per person, that is 600 million dollar, just to take the country? Cheapskates.
Then for the Greenland government I’d take this as a giant fuck-you in the face, a direct attack on your democracy. I would not take kindly to this
That number appears to be missing several 0’s
No I don’t want Greenland. I’d rather we get DC and PR proper representation.
But those have brown people… so he’d never go for it
It’s not about wanting it or not. Just the thought of buying people off like that is just respectless and childish.
Besides, Greenland has said no to becoming American several times. It’s time to give up on that absurd dream
But this time we are offering a laughable token amount of money?
Greenland gets about that much per person in subsidies every year, so gl with that.
Significantly more, actually. Especially when you consider the social safety net that includes such things as universal health care, five weeks paid leave minimum, and 50 weeks paid parental leave.
There’s no way that the pittance being floated would cover a TENTH of that for a full year, let alone having your people and country molested by EXTREMELY under-regulated predatory corporations for all eternity while having no hope of achieving better conditions through political representation.
You’d have to be a COMPLETE idiot to want anything to do with a deal that awful.
You mean 10.000 of those severely deflated dollars?
That’d be about half a billion dollars overall. Crazy thing is with the massive unpopularity of being annexed, I think even with a $10k bribe most people would still be against it.
Nothing crazy about it. 10k each/half a billion overall is an infinitesimal pittance compared to what the people and government of Greenland would lose.
Sadly, I think this would pass in Alberta.
Is Alberta pretty much the Texassippi of Canada?
