As a Dutch I don’t understand this joke

Ask your german friend about the logistics and they’ll probably already have a slideshow ready to explain it.

If you’re lucky they might have an extra about their vacation to Spain!

After reading through the comics it could also be related to climate change but what first came to mind was the american housing crisis. Some people seem to think that the housing crisis could be solved by having more room for houses while, how I understand it, it is actually not a problem of available living space but a problem of affordable living space.
A simple map of population density across the US should clearly show that lebensraum is not the problem indeed. It’s more a question of places that are both desirable for the opportunities they offer, while being affordable.

lebensraum

Is this a loanword?

I’m swiss german and Lebensraum is a word, which is why i asked. Who knew there’s some nazi concept associated with it.

I don’t think it’s a loanword as such, hence my italicising it. I was using it as a reference to the nazi.
Yup, learned of that after.
As an American I’m baffled also
Looks like everyone is missing your joke.
The joke is that we have more land to the north so we don’t have to. We can just invade Canada before we start with polders
I thought you already did that in June 2072?
