The lack of creative solutioning is numbing...

Nothing. Ever lived in the Arctic? I have. Its a very tough unforgiving environment that is dark for half the year. Very challenging mentally. Easy for people to slip into self medication. I am certain America under Trump would would probably make it worse. People struggling in an environment like the Arctic need empathy... something America has in short supply right now.

[lightbulb27]

think outside the box... hire a negotiator to cut a deal for the citizens so they get some sunshine in exchange for what USA wants. It be a smart move if it really is that sad and depressing. What's Netherlands doing for them? nothing...

[DryGermanGuy]

Give them all immigration visas to work at "Tessler"! And access to Musk's Ketamine stash!

[lightbulb27]

that's a good negotiation point. give them all condos in florida and texas paid for life, so they can get some sunshine.

Maybe stay the fuck away from there? Maybe leave them alone? Maybe send them some huge care packages full of marijuana, Fire works, and snowmobiles to have some fun with? ….. dunno.

leave them alone... if there was anything to do, they would do it... including moving out... but they didn't... so let them be :D

[lightbulb27]

they need help based upon the above... USA can offer that.

[IslaTheWitch]

will the USA change how the Earth is rotating? there is a reason why the areas close to poles are darker, you know... :D

[lightbulb27]

A) Cut a deal for all citizens receive a free property in south USA for life and 2 months vacation and free education at their school of choice
B) Sell rights to greeland land.

Problem of course is trust... there is no way to trust USA without a big enough military to defend yourself. Sadly, China is more trustworthy. oh well...

[IslaTheWitch]

those people don't want to relocate... they can, but don't want to...

so again, how the USA can help them to get more sun in their home?

[lightbulb27]

Send in therapists to resolve their depression, offer free trips to usa. Bet they never traveled

[IslaTheWitch]

lol, I will leave you in your bubble

[Syntosi]

I would suggest that USA stop threaten to invade their country. Sounds like a good first start.

[exitseven]

The US could buy Greenland and make it Great Again.

[oldpigg]

Guyana is in red, probably because of Jonestown, which was owned by an American.

[lightbulb27]

not relevant.

[RedInnocent69]

Nothing. It’s systemic to indigenous populations. Maybe over time it would come down with economic prosperity, but it’s not like you’re going to invest anything in socialized mental health supports…

[msc545]

Send them a mental health crisis team, except, oh wait - they no longer trust Americans thanks to Trump...

[Dargil]

Let the Chinese or Russian invade it

[beefcakebradybatson]

Send the boys buxom blondes !!!

[OddBeMe]

Leave em alone Trump!
