    I dgaf if Greenland is Denmark's or a US protectorate, territory, or state. That last option is unlikely anyway ... but that's not the point.

    This week, PostNord canceled home mail delivery. Who the eff is PostNord? Welp ... for 400+ years, the heirs of Hrothgar have been delivering letters from and to Danes in Copenhagen and all of Denmark... yet they cited a 90% decline in personal letter delivery since 2000.

    And this nation can afford to sit on a parcel of resource-rich land that aids their economy measurably. They crow about the Nordic Model - free market + welfare state - and yet, they are smaller in populayion than Massachusetts while being the same approx land mass.

    So when a hippie Maoist twat tells me how great Europeans and why can't we have their system here.... GTFOOH. Small scale, maybe. But we ain't small, and nobody cares about Denmark unless they love the geography, the hot-girls, and abelskivers ....

    Come to think of it ....I'm moving to Denmark.

    a move to Greenland could prove to be a solid investment
    if you could purchase property
    problem is all the land is owned by the Greenlandic government

    It's ball-freezing cold 80% of the year. But it'd be the equivalent of a second Alaska with far, far larger (and more easily mined) deposits of REEs & especially uranium than the Land of the Midnight Sun.

    If we weren't so MSM-deceived & if the repubs weren't so collusive with dems to improve our energy production, we'd have nuclear plants everywhere and plenty of reusable, closed-loop cooling systems that burn 80% their own waste for fuel.

    But yeah.... let's continue petroleum dependence because that's working out f**king perfectly.

    We should be aggressively expanding our nuclear infrastructure to reduce dependence on fossil fuels but outdated technologies and a handful of high-profile failures have given it a bad reputation.
    Nuclear energy's problem is not performance — it is perception.

    100% correct.

    My cousin was a submariner from 1976-1984 on Sturgeon-class subs. Retired now, he's a consultant for NextEra. He says that anyone who evaluates nuclear anything today by the standards of nuclear 50 years ago is "too stupid to breath" ... it's the perception of an ignoramus nation of sheeple who would be equally stupid to judge that cars should be eliminated because a Stanley Steamer exploded in 1911.

    Nothing is perfect in energy but nuclear is the only long-term option and it doesn't make any difference to a thinking person if you're blue or red state.

    During the elections, ChatGPT convinced users to vote for Kamala Harris but refused to convince users to vote for Donald Trump. OpenAI should be investigated for election interference.

    if politics were baseball, the democratic party would be the houston astros

    @JeremyCom

    Los Angeles Dodger Freddie Freeman bought his Studio City (LA) home in 2023 for $7.8 million. He just sold it for $6.45 million. Losing ($1.35 million). And…

    Freeman will pay 4% tax on the gross ($258k) for the ULA / unhoused tax. He will pay 6% ($387k) in real estate transaction fees. He will also pay another roughly 0.5% in transaction costs ($32k). Total of ($677k) in costs associated with selling the home due to LA taxes / real estate fees.

    In 2 years, Freeman lost over ($2 million) on his home purchase in addition to anything they did to increase the value of the home post purchase.

    Yes - He’s a Dodger with a huge contract. So the 13% state income tax, 10.5% local / state sales tax, and arguably unconstitutional $258,000 tax on the LOSS probably doesn’t phase him.

    It does phase me on the cusp of a rebuild of the Palisades - where the state will charge permitting fees, state sales tax and property tax on unlivable and burned down lots.

    And you wonder why lot values are impacted up to 40% right now in the Palisades.

    Some people are just bad at business.
    The law sets up its own feng shui in every locality.
    Its up to the fish to learn the flow.

    ICE has temporarily detained a couple hundred US Citizens out of hundreds of thousands of arrests. The number I heard was less than half a percent.

    Chances are ... they're assholes anyway.

    I'll take my chances with 100 illegal Mexicans if it means a few dozen whitey Karens & an equal number of soy-boy manbun pussies get sent to Iceland or whereever the fuck ...
