56,000 people living in Greenland times avg income 33,000 = 1.8 billion. Give each greenlander 100 years of income now (3.3 million each, total 180 billion) - who can resist. Throw in a couple of trillions to the chiefs - Saudis will turn green from envy. This could be deal of a century.
A bit of a hostile takeover with respect to Denmark, but still good deal for greenlanders.
- TheAlchemist 7y agoWhile I would agree on the math and the incentives of your approach if it was pure business, that's very wrong to see it that way. You guys are talking about real people and their country. Somehow makes me think about this tweet from The White House yesterday: https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1162092856858808320 https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1162092856858808320 No guys, Americans can't go anywhere and you are not welcome everywhere. It's about time to understand that.
- krastanov 7y agoFunny how he says Americans can go anywhere days after he pushed for some Americans to be barred from going to Israel.

- shitgoose 7y agoI doubt that average greenlander will ever see any of this wealth. So they better take Trump's or Chinese money.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoafter seeing the mess the Chinese have made in Cambodia, where there are much fewer cultural differences, it's not a good deal. It's handing their children a nightmare.
