@mindingmyps @jonatanpallesen Housing in Copenhagen is up 43% in two years. The profit from selling your home is tax free; profit from selling a meaningful amount of company shares is taxed 42%. Go figure where people put their money.

@Geiger_Capital They are not comparable to "far right" in other countries. 60-70% of the parties on your list are for strict non-Western immigration controls (in varying degrees, to be fair). Denmark has very strict & widely supported immigration policies

@MoreBirths Another high-income ($81k GDP per capita), highly educated nation with a high TFR is the Faroe Islands. TFR for 2025 has not been published yet but it is >2. Like Israel, it's deeply religious and the culture prioritizes national perseverance

@patrickc For the restaurants, check out: PAZ, Ræst, ROKS. All within 500 meters of each other and have Michelin stars or are Michelin Guide.

@Ortgeist Is there a Hyperion Instagram page?

@TomDansCFA Tom, educate yourself please. The Greenlandic government banned uranium mining. They have full sovereignty over the subsurface resources.

@sorenpind Man kunne svare på den amerikanske told og reducere momsen tilsvarende.

@JoachimBOlsen Denne artikel misser også pointen. Hvis skatten i Danmark var højere, så ville Danmark have hevet flere penge ud af Grønland? Nej vel. Det betyder bare, at aktionærerne i Danmark ville havde fået færre penge og at den danske stat, i form af skatter, ville havde fået flere penge.

@UlfHarbo @olebirkolesen Ulf, hvis du kunne lide den bog, så vil jeg anbefale Hernando de Sotos 'The Mystery of Capital'. Den bygger på mange af de samme idéer, og den er meget relevant ift det, som Ole siger.

@otherguy0911 @dishgirl4 @RasmusJarlov @Frecklish1 No, my point was that Greenland has a much better deal than the Virgin Islands as described by you.

[Thomas 🕳 @TLGman]

@Eris_Fnord @otherguy0911 @dishgirl4 @RasmusJarlov @Frecklish1 Reasons for this is that, historically and legally, Greenland is Denmark - not a separate state. Half a century later, most things concerning Greenland have devolved to the Greenlandic parliament (yet they retain 2 MPs in Denmark, which in theory could influence Danish matters)

[Thomas 🕳 @TLGman]

@shaunmmaguire @RasmusJarlov Whether and how this happens depends on their election results between now and April. If the most pro-independence parties get majority, they will negotiate a deal with the Danish government, which in turn will be put up for a Greenlandic referendum. Process would take years.

[Thomas 🕳 @TLGman]

@shaunmmaguire @RasmusJarlov According to the most recent reliable polls and actual discussions btwn the Greenlandic political parties, the most likely preference is more devolvement of sovereignty from Denmark to Greenland - retaining Danish citizenship. Leaves room for deepening partnership with the USA.

[Thomas 🕳 @TLGman]

@otherguy0911 @dishgirl4 @RasmusJarlov @Frecklish1 Greenland today is self-governed, do not pay taxes to Denmark (actually, they are paid Danish taxes), get Danish (+ EU) citizenship, and have the option to be in the Danish customs area - AND has 2 representatives in the Danish parliament (in total there are 179 MPs)

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

@OJoelsen På den anden side, Orla, så er det en nødvendig diskussion som Grønland bør tager hurtigst muligt før I indgår i en forhandling med Danmark. Se Sjúrður Skaales opfordring, baseret på Færøernes oplevelse i 2000: https://t.co/ClLbBZQ3iI

[Thomas 🕳 @TLGman]

@RasmusJarlov @viggogitte Du har ret i, at det var et enstemmigt Grønlands Landsråd, der stemte for integration med Danmark i 1953 (rådet bestod af grønlændere, som blev valgt ind af kommunerne). Egentlig omvendt af hvad der skete i Færøerne i 1946 (folkeafstemning som ikke blev respekteret af lagtinget)

[Thomas 🕳 @TLGman]

@RasmusJarlov Hvorfra ved du, at spiralsagen egentlig drejer sig om nogle hundrede grønlandske kvinder? Spørger oprigtigt, fordi det har jeg ikke set nævnt før.
