American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.

@markus_falk
Well yeah, but try to fund a well sized government only by printing money. Hello inflation.

If you want more expeditionary hospital ships, one way or another you'll have to tax more.

@randahl That's absolutely insane.

And this country ABSOLUTELY provides no healthcare for most of its population. What is the admin trying to do — persuade Greenlanders that it does?

[tanyakaroli@expressional.social]

@benroyce I immediately thought of this as well! He must have heard of this incident and couldn’t bear that Greenland appears the hero.

@randahl A Trojan Horse?

@randahl

The article claims that no one knows why Trump is sending it. We know why. I hope Greenlanders have learned from the mistakes of the past and not allow American colonizers off the boat. They aren’t coming for any good intention.

[markus_falk@rollenspiel.social]

@notsoloud @randahl that is part of the misconception. Inflation is not directly linked to creating money. It only rises if the spending power can not be met by what a market can provide.

So as long as there is enough supply in hospital ships, inflation remains low.

Also, raising taxes removes that money from the system and then it’s gone. You literally cannot spend tax dollars.

@notsoloud @markus_falk @randahl

and this is what trump wants to do, once he ousts Powell from the Federal Reserve.

Inflation is a sort of tax (a regressive tax that hits mostly the poorer workers)

@randahl
If USA/Louisiana send a hospital ship to Greenland, the EU should send one to Louisiana in return.

If we're lucky, it starts a new race among all the major blocks about who could provide the best health care for each others citizens.

It is of course less efficient than land based hospitals, but still a huge step forward from a classical arms race.

[dannyreving@mastodon.social]

@randahl I propose that Denmark send multiple hospital ships to the US instead. They need it more.

@MelissaBearTrix @randahl Literally everything he says is bullshit. I don't understand why anyone treats his statements as anything but a lying liar lying about everything. All it takes to stop him is people just not following his bullshit illegal and immoral orders and calling out his statements as bullshit lies to his face when he says them.

@randahl @nuintari Well he didn’t say that the sick people not being taken care of are Greenlanders. Just that they’re not being taken care of **there** (Greenland). Maybe his plan is just sending USAians there?

The problem is that some people who read what he writes simply believe it and think it's great without questioning it...

[jooles@mastodonapp.uk]

@randahl
Has he actually got one!
