Danish citizens have launched an online petition, signed by 200,000 people, to purchase California. The petition notes that purchasing the Golden State would provide Danes with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast, and easy access to Disneyland. In return, California would get the rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.

Can they buy Wisconsin, please? I'd take that offer! 😆

Seems like a legit idea considering that the US has verbal confirmation from POTUS that we are going to acquire Greenland, the Panama Canal and the Gaza Strip by any means necessary.

I'm still unsure what POTUS has decided to do with Canada. Last I heard, POTUS wants to make Canada our 51st US State.

Strap in ... It's going to be a wild ride of mass chaos.

And to think I was recently just worried about the US becoming The Handmaid's Tale, "Gilead".

Show threadAndrew C. DingmanFeb 11
@TimBondy @augieray hey, in Handmaid's Tale it's pretty clear that Gilead doesn't actually control all of the former US territories. They could still achieve both.

"Los ciudadanos daneses han lanzado una petición en línea, firmada por 200.000 personas, para comprar California. La petición señala que la compra del Estado Dorado proporcionaría a los daneses más sol, dominio en la industria tecnológica, tostadas de aguacate ilimitadas y fácil acceso a Disneylandia. A cambio, California obtendría el estado de derecho, atención médica universal, política basada en hechos y un suministro de por vida de pasteles daneses.

¿Pueden comprar Wisconsin, por favor? ¡Acepto esa oferta! 😆

If Norway bought Oklahoma, they'd nationalize the oil industry and set up a real sovereign wealth fund.

Oil is wasting resource. It should be heavily tarriffed to discourage consumption, and that tarriff should be saved to only fund a transition to renewables.

@augieray Since California is far, far bigger than Denmark, they should think _carefully_ about buying California. Newsom will take over, and Danes should visit places like Hunter's Point, the Hollywood District, and Oakland before putting any funds in escrow.
