Population of Greenland is 56,831 per Wikipedia, so at $100k/person this comes to just under $6B. Good illustration of just how large a billion dollars is. On the other hand for the US this is chump change; pump it up to a million bucks a person and it only becomes $60B. Every other day this country spends that bombing some place or another. Hard to see how Greenlanders would turn down a million bucks a person to become a US territory. Spending the cash also guarantees dems wouldn’t reverse it (not that they would even if it were annexed militarily).

With 100k I could literally restart my life, move out, rent something small for myself, buy a new car, new wardrobe, invest in something
$1,000,000 per person isn’t much to live off.
The mineral wealth of Greenland is in the trillions.
