@Vonskinnback @notsoloud @randahl many countries in the world function this way. This is how the Biden admin managed to get out of the Covid recession before.
The short story is, there are different schools in macro #economics and the dominating one favors the rich, small powerless governments, free markets and is afraid of government deficits. If you like to learn more you can start here: https://youtu.be/TANEzcjNDvc?si=huuKADzDJ_66JlnT
@markus_falk @notsoloud @randahl thanks for this, I will give it a watch...

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.
@randahl
Yes, a 'hospital ship', which in no way will look like a destroyer or any other military vessel with escorts- sure Donny, whatever you say

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

@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.
