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

@randahl He knows they don't need it. He trusts that his moronic followers don't.

Also, Denmark won a speed skating medal! Glad you guys were so fast in taking my advice!

The amount of money governments like this can create has no limit.

Inflation becomes a problem when the resources a market can provide do not match that investment.
This is the real limit to government spending: the people doing the work, the missing specialists for difficult tasks, the materials that are needed, missing infrastructure and so on.

Anything a government can produce can always be financed.

[randal_silversword@mastodon.social]

@bonehead @randahl I totally agree

[beandev@social.tchncs.de]

@randahl
Fun fact: both hospital ships are currently under maintenance. It is not possible to send these to Greenland.

Trojan Horse.

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@Stephenleader nope.

@Eetschrijver @randahl why doesn't anybody in the US get mad about this? You should have Dems in every news-channel/paper...

@randahl
I am not aware of a hospital icebreaker existing anywhere in the world.

Besides that the US has only veryvery few arctic-capable ships anyway, none of them even remotely resembling a hospital ship. It has a reason why Greenland's/Denmark's marine mostly consists of coast patrol sized boats: ever tried evading the many icebergs around Greenland with a bigger ship?

(Edit : sentence had double parts had have)

@randahl I wonder what the people of Greenland think when they see this...

[hettwolf@hessen.social]

@beandev @randahl @isotopp The ships' names are Mercy and Comfort. They're being overhauled in docks in Mobile, Alabama, a state where health officials prepare for a possible measles outbreak. Satire is dead.

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@randahl Maybe he meant "love boat", after he's seen the series during the night on TV. If you think I'm silly, compare the silliness with the original message - I can't win, I know it

[vonskinnback@mastodon.social]

@markus_falk @notsoloud @randahl thanks for this, I will give it a watch...

[magmora@lgbtqia.space]

@randahl
Yes, a 'hospital ship', which in no way will look like a destroyer or any other military vessel with escorts- sure Donny, whatever you say

He up to something.... Definitely situation: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

Yep. Me too. First thought, and it is still sticking.

[hvanleeuwen@mastodon.social]

@randahl it’s probably trump’s attempt at a trojan horse, it can’t be just plain stupidity, right

@Vonskinnback @Stephenleader @randahl Can't let freedom get to pandemic levels. Gotta crush it as soon as possible.
