@randahl My first (and only) thought was:
Trojan Horse.@Elyastorah @randahl
He up to something.... Definitely situation: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. -

Let me rephrase that: The US, which does not offer free healthcare to its own people, wants it's own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.
Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.
.. brain scan???

@randahl it’s probably trump’s attempt at a trojan horse, it can’t be just plain stupidity, right
-
@Stephenleader @randahl yes, it clearly has an epidemic of freedom & democracy, that must be crushed by the American military, Next thing we will hear is that Trump is sending them "special" blankets...
@Vonskinnback @Stephenleader @randahl Can't let freedom get to pandemic levels. Gotta crush it as soon as possible.

"Even if many an illusion flees, That once your heart rejoices, the wine already gives you comfort through oblivion! Happy is he who forgets, which cannot be changed."
"Happy is he who forgets what can no longer be changed" comes from the operetta "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss, whose libretto was written by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée.
.. However, centuries earlier, Emperor Frederick III had already adopted the Latin version Rerum irrecuperabilium felix oblivio as his motto.
.. and in this particular case, DT has certainly and fortunately already forgotten that the world will remember all these "little" scenes ..

@randahl Hopefully, nobody uses it. Be strong, Greenlanders!

@randahl Considering the State of American health care in general, and the stupidity of the health care practice promoted by Kennedy in detail, would it then be possible to prosecute the ship and its doctors as quacks or snake oil salesmen after the local laws in Greenland and/or Denmark?

@randahl Doesn't look like it. https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=7390454 and https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=7390478 . Seem to be docked or moored. At full speed they would be there in 8days, but time to activate ist 5 days. But i can't find any reoports for this. If they would leave dock or mooring, the ship spotters would be all over it.

Out of this world…

@randahl Fascists are not stupid.
They just don't care.
The only thing that matters is the feeling of power.
When they lie? They love when you call them hypocrites, because WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Power insulates them from the consequences of their lies and they love it. -
Maybe the Danish navy could return the favor by sending a ship to Louisiana?
Offer poor people in Florida Danish health care plans?
Guess where this US hospital ship seems to be coming from… Louisiana.

@randahl This inspires me to show up at Yo Yo Ma’s house and make him take music lessons from me.

@randahl
The Greeks sent a horse to Troy.
Just saying… -
@mc the funny thing is, he cannot get that ship into Nuuk harbor without permission.
@randahl my guess is neither TACO nor Whiskey-Pete thought about that. it's just the old and boring "hej, look - a squirrel!"-game.

@notsoloud @Vonskinnback @randahl
The amount of money governments like this can create has no limit.
Inflation becomes a problem when the resources a market can provide do not match that investment.
This is the real limit to government spending: the people doing the work, the missing specialists for difficult tasks, the materials that are needed, missing infrastructure and so on.Anything a government can produce can always be financed.
@markus_falk @notsoloud @Vonskinnback @randahl The US has an even more special position in this regard, at least for now: the Dollar being the de-facto world currency means that you can issue debt (print money) like there’s no tomorrow, because Dollar debt used to be a desirable (and tradable) asset. Which the US has been living off for decades, at this point.

Donald Trump ignores the vastly destructive problems he creates. As a fantasist, he prefers to invent problems that don't exist, so he can confidently and easily fix them.
So it is with saying he will send a hospital ship to Greenland, to care for the sick, something Greenland's universal healthcare system already does.
Meanwhile, Trump deprives his own people of health care and insurance, and destroys their public health infrastructure. The man is an obscenity.
