What people don’t get is we don’t need the Danes to sell it to us. There is a Danish law allowing Greenland to choose to be independent via referendum. Par capita GDP is about 40K with The Danes kicking in $12500. 64% of GLanders want independence but it flips to 78% don’t if the $12,500 goes away. This is a deal so easy to get even I could do it.
55000 inhabitants. $5 million each. $275 billion. Finance with 100 year bonds. Second question on the referendum after independence is do you want to become a US territory, get $5 million and become a US citizen.
I would invest in production of green MGGA hats because Glanders are all going to be wearing them and the party after the referendum is going to be EPIC.
A family of 4 would have $20 million. That is finding a lost Rembrandt in the attic kind of money.
I mean what would you do?

Ooh! Except the misspelling of MAGA, that’s a GREAT idea.
I hope someone does it!
Greenlanders would do it for half that amount.
That's a pretty generous offer you're making with US tax dollars.
Socialist much?
I mean what would you do?
I'd let Denmark keep Greenland and return that money to its source -- the US taxpayer.
But that's just me. I'm not a socialist bent on spending other peoples' money.
For that kind of dough, I’d move there, change my name to Fnerd Nunuk Fnerdhabsen, and start eating whale blubber in my igloo.
you are correct. Greenlanders can vote to join the USA. If the USA offers a cast-iron deal for the next x years on so much $$.
Denmark would also be sad-happy but not make a fuss.
