This happens when you treat allies as enemies.

T is a businessman (in the past). He just proposed a "merger", not sure why it was taken so negatively as it was just a suggestion with no aggressive moves to accompany such suggestions.
Strategically, Greenland would be better off with US for obvious reasons [it already had, as was revealed publicly recently, a US nuclear base https://www.wsj.com/world/greenland-us-camp-century-nuclear-base-91e8abea], but politically, I understand why this is not a popular opinion.

Finally, that "agreement" is worth zippo if US really "wanted" Greenland, which it does not, in all seriosness.
So...nothing changes.

I am not sure why yellow pages always write about 'humiliations', 'upsets', etc. when talking about economic relationships.
I found out that British are always very reserved in person and in public, and justly so, but quite outlandish in their writings.
Must be some sort of compensation, indeed.  Wink

I'm sure if China talked about offering Hawai or Guam to join the great Chinese nation Trump would take it very well.
I will be moving from New Jersey next year as I cannot stand to live in a sanctuary state.

You are mixing two unrelated things here.
Example: CA is a sanctuary state, but they have a wonderful prop 13, which does two things: limits RE tax to 1% of assessed value and that assessed value cannot rise more than 2% a year maximum.

TX, not a sanctuary state, has about 2% (of assessed value) RE tax and a 10% RE assessed value yearly limit increase, which is very hard as salaries do not rise 10%/year.
Additionally, assessors have no interest in helping you to contain the relentless rise and always try to somehow find the maximal possible value.
You can protest the tax, and I do...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Conclusion: sanctuary has nothing to do with it. Imho, all states need to create something similar to CA prop 13, otherwise we are screwed.

No it is not about sanctuary and real estate tax in nj.

I was lazy as it is what sanctuary states do to aid illegals.

Cali is doing via minimum wage. And allowing illegals papers to work.

Cali raised the minimum wage to close to 20 bucks.

Which directly attacks seniors on pensions since the feds did not raise ssn anywhere as much as they did raise minimum wage.

Cali has hundreds of thousands of illegals getting a raised minimum wage.

A big fuck over.

And if I were to write how many ways you can be fucked by illegals and taxes subsidies them you would be stunned.

So in conclusion Cali does the fuck over with minimum wages.  Which rise veggies nation wide

Since the illegals are not being paid off the books well  under the minimum wage.

NJ also attacks with minimum wage to paperwork allowed illegals.

So we are worse than Cali
