21 August 2019 - buy Greenland
< yesterday --

Let’s see, if Trump wants to buy Greenland, how much should he
offer? Alaska cost $7,200,000. That was in 1867, and inflation
since then is supposed to be a factor of 17. Also, Greenland is
25% larger than Alaska, so 7.2 * 17 * 1.25 makes $153 million.
Ha, Trump change! Right now property speculators are angling to
snap it up so they can flip it for a huge profit.
clue:
The GDP of Greenland is $1,800,000,000 including an annual subsidy
from Denmark worth over $500,000,000 so the fair price would be
much, much higher. And, you know, the people who live there might
perhaps like a say.
give me a clue so sweet and true
