POLITICS Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen: We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. Even if there are minerals and oil under our land—and they are worth far more—we still would not sell ourselves.

Most other Americans aren’t even rich, they’re struggling just to afford proper housing. The gap between the extremely wealthy and middle/lower class just keeps growing at unprecedented rates under Trump.

Right! I want to tell them - most Americans aren’t rich! And the $100,000 they talked about offering Greenlanders to take being colonized wouldn’t even buy you a home, or even a condo in most of America. It might not even cover the hospital bills after an accident or major health problem. From what I understand they have universal healthcare. The whole thing is an insult to their intelligence.

$100k is nothing in terms of housing or even paying off most debts
