The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump is a deal maker so I hope he takes the Danes up on their offer but stitches Greenland into the deal somehow. How about the USA pays Denmark $1T for Greenland and we toss in California for free. Yeah, I like it, but they have to take Maxine Waters or the deal is off.

Denmark petition aims to buy California for $1 trillion

The online petition, which has garnered more than 200,000 signatures, begins with “Måke Califørnia Great Ægain” at the top of the petition website.

“Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångeles. Have you ever looked at a map and thought, ‘You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates,’” the campaign website reads.

“Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality,” it continues. “Let’s buy California from Donald Trump!”

Danes who have signed the petition are encouraged to donate for the fundraising goal of $1 trillion — “give or take a few billion” — and the target of 500,000 signatures.

There are also five major incentives for Danes to sign the petition: sunshine, tech, avocado toast, protecting the free world and Disneyland — which the petition calls to rename “Hans Christian Andersenland,” after the Danish fairy tale author of The Little Mermaid.

“Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet? Yes, please,” the petition reads.
