    What is the average income in Greenland?
    about $3278

    Greenland's economy relies heavily on fishing and subsidies from Denmark, with fishing accounting for over 90% of exports and Denmark providing a significant annual block grant

    Greenlanders live in objected poverty
    56000 very poor people
    Greenland resources are worth Trillions
    The USA will make 56000 people very wealthy

  7. If everyone in The US isn't rich than neither would those in Greenland.If the US controlled
    Greenland the rich and corporations would get the wealth as they do in the US,not Greenlanders.The people in Greenland know that which is why they want nothing to do with the US and Trump.

    Denmark, despite its colonial history, has generally provided a more stable and less exploitative relationship. If Greenland were to seek independence while allowing American companies unrestricted access, it would end up in a neocolonial situation, formally free but economically dominated.

    Wherever large numbers of Americans go, the local culture, economy, and environment suffers. They prioritize profit over sustainability, and their way of life spreads like a grey, featureless mold, erasing what makes a place unique. Only those who have never left the U.S. believe this is desirable.

    Americans cling to religion not out of deep faith, but because without it, they have nothing, no shared culture, no true community, and no sense of belonging beyond consumption and power. They reach for religion to patch the emptiness their own system creates.

    Few Greenlanders would trade their natural soul for a strip-mall church and a life of endless consumption.

    Something close anyway.

    Puerto Rico stands as a warning. Over a century under U.S. influence, yet still struggling with debt, dependency, and corporate exploitation. No representation to speak off.

    You will find that the Gini coefficient, income inequality, of Denmark is is bit better than Greenland but Greenland is way better than the USA. They could be similar to Iceland or Norway on their own instead of following the neocolonial route. Mostly they need better mental health, which they absolutely won't get from the Amercian system, quite the opposite.
