American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.

@randahl i doubt that it's a hospital boat. more likely a trojan horse.
@bearofroses @randahl I heard they are renaming it to the "USS Epstine (who Trump has definitely never met)"...
-
@notsoloud @randahl that is part of the misconception. Inflation is not directly linked to creating money. It only rises if the spending power can not be met by what a market can provide.
So as long as there is enough supply in hospital ships, inflation remains low.
Also, raising taxes removes that money from the system and then it’s gone. You literally cannot spend tax dollars.
@markus_falk @notsoloud @randahl so cutting taxes, whilst increasing tax spending & pumping money into the economy via the banking system via the back door to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, what does that cause?

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
Blatant propaganda, the only reason he writes this is to push the narrative that people of Greenland can't live without the US. -

@Vonskinnback @notsoloud @randahl it causes the deficit to rise, the economy to prosper and it creates value with whatever was produced with that money.

@randahl
If USA/Louisiana send a hospital ship to Greenland, the EU should send one to Louisiana in return.If we're lucky, it starts a new race among all the major blocks about who could provide the best health care for each others citizens.
It is of course less efficient than land based hospitals, but still a huge step forward from a classical arms race.
@notsoloud @randahl we can send an oil tanker to Cuba and ask for some Cuban assistance with the health care issue. They have more experience with 3rd world health care issues

@randahl at least that sounds well intentioned. American tax payers are already paying for a genocide in Gaza and a siege in Cuba that may also end in genocide. So paying for a hospital ship sounds decent, even if it's unnecessary or a false flag

Another one? But they already didn't find anything in the first one... -

@markus_falk @notsoloud @randahl so why doesn't everyone do this, has Trump discovered the magic answer to neverending growth & prosperity?

@randahl He did not say anything about "free". If there's a hospital boat in the port of Nuuk that offers services at US hospital rates, it will probably not attract large crowds.

It may be a Trojan horse. Next thing we know there are lots of little green men without identification or batches but heavily armed running around in Greenland, telling the population to stay indoors or get shot. -

@randahl I have a hard time understanding the intended audience and desired effect for that particular tweet on that channel.
His MAGA base? The American public without free healthcare? Greenlanders with free healthcare? The remaining European public with free healthcare?

Not entirely stupid.
Healthcare in Greenland is:
•
Good and dependable for everyday medical needs and emergencies
• Well-organized given the extreme conditions
•
️ Not comparable to large European countries for specialist or high-tech care
•️ Heavily dependent on evacuation to Denmark for complex treatment -

@markus_falk
And there are no limits to this process? At all? Where?Let's say the US government prints a trillion trillion trillion dollars tomorrow. They go shopping for a high speed rail network, health care for everyone, full cleanup of any polluted area, a completely new renewable energy system and throws in arts funding enough to generate a new Renaissance for good measure. Right now. At any cost.
There would be no rise in inflation?

@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
