Thanks to Denmark, Greenland already enjoys free healthcare and free education from primary school to master’s level (and even higher education). Denmark guarantees a minimum wage of around $20 per hour, five weeks of paid vacation, and up to 52 weeks of paid parental leave. Greenlandic citizens also have access to comprehensive social security, including unemployment benefits, pensions, sick leave, and maternity leave.
In contrast, the U.S. offers no universal healthcare, no free higher education, no guaranteed paid vacation, and no paid parental leave. The minimum wage in the U.S. is significantly lower, and Americans face greater economic inequality, higher poverty rates, and weaker social protections. Denmark, meanwhile, ranks among the least corrupt countries in the world, ensuring strong democratic rights and a high standard of living.
Why would Greenlanders give up these extensive benefits for a country that doesn’t guarantee even the basics of social welfare?

Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I.
He also believed militarism (along with racism and poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils.
I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released…
The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
