  • Sure, I support Greenlandic independence. But this will be the, what, twelfth time they tried to kickstart their domestic economy by inviting foreign mining companies.
    Americans and Europeans (And Chinese, and Canadian and Australian too i think) HAVE invested in exploitation of the natural wealth of Greenland, and it isn’t economically viable at scale.
    At this point the Greenlandic mining sector should genuinely be treated as either delusional or electoral guff to make it seem like an economic transition is just around the corner. And it always has to be pushed and pushed so the rhetoric and policies get sillier and sillier. Sure why not advertise a combined mining technical exam and high school diploma to children, never mind that there’s like 20 mining jobs available.

    Sure. Make a deal with China if it gives you even an infantesimal benefit, Inuits owe Danes less than nothing. But be real about the mining shit. China is holding back because it’s not a good business not out of fear of offending the fucking Danes.
