Free "modest proposal" for Denmark.
Call Trump's bluff. Demand $100B as a downpayment for negotiations over Greenland.
Then use it to start hiring all the scientists whose NIH grants have been frozen.
Steal America's scientific expertise while Trump is yelling at icebergs.

Plus of course, Denmark does not “own” Greenland and thus cannot sell it. End of.
The ultimate dead-man's switch.
Seems reasonable, especially given the Colombian tariffs over two flights.
Either Donald refuses to pay it (making clear what everybody knows - it's not going to happen) or he does.
Then negotiate a price of say $500trn (which has to be paid upfront or the deal's off).
Ask for even more.
I want to think again of dangerous
and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable
beautiful
and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.
