Greenlanders don't get a choice. They;re welcome to emigrate here if they want.


Who knows? It could go to a vote.

I was (sort of?) joking in a previous post… butttt….. There are only 60k or so Greenlanders. I’m guessing they are not a wealthy bunch. If Musk offered EACH citizen of Greenland $1million wouldn’t they vote to take it? They’d still retain fishing/hunting/ancestral rights. Just give up claims to ores, and allow military bases, scientific stations, missile defense thingies. We’d even give them a non voting Congressional representative. Sort of like Puerto Rico of the north. As you are in your poorly insulated, crumbling roads, dial up Internet house, you don’t take the $4 million for your dentally challenged wife, yourself, and your two barely literate kids? If Canada offered me and wifey $2million I start singing Oh, Canada tomorrow. (Maybe?)

I have heard the "offer them all $1 million" thing before, maybe here, but it is an interesting idea. To be palatable it would have to be in the form of a territorial sovereign wealth fund of some sort or else half the population would be dead in 5 years. Turn it into Guam with snow.

As to your offer from Canada, don't jump so fast. $1 million Canadian becomes $700K US. Taxes will take almost half of that, say it leaves $400K. A nice payday but not worth it just to have a Tim Horton's on every corner and have to watch CFL games.

Get paid to live in Alaska with oil dividend checks.

But the trick is to devalue the currency it's paid in.

They do this by running up the deficit.

Big scam.

The idiots are the ones who still take him literally. You would think after all these years they would get tired of looking so stupid.

Meanwhile Greenlanders would love for us to take over.


Yes, Trump is a clown. Exactly what I said.

Yet that clown took down your DEI candidate. Took down your "smartest woman in the world" before that. Makes your side look like idiots over and over.

What's hilarious is you believe that poopy pants Joe who was senile in 2020, hiding in his basement all summer, actually beat Trump with no cheating. That's what's so hilarious about you guys is you actually believe that's true. That Trump was going to rally's getting tens of thousands of people and Joe Biden would have a rally at a closed drive-in movie and get less than a hundred people and half of those were the Press. Yet he still won you think, legitimately. Talk about idiots.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

All TDS folks got scammed into believing Biden won.

It was pretty obvious he didn't win.

Yes Biden beat Trump. Every relevant fact speaks to that. Your fantasy doesn’t count
