An Arkansas state representative filed a resolution Wednesday to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
If approved, State Rep. Aaron Pilkington’s resolution would also require all state agencies to use the term “Gulf of America.”
The Republican, who represents parts of Johnson and Pope counties in northwest Arkansas, said renaming the gulf would “reinforce the role it plays in supporting the prosperity and security of the United States.”
The cost that this name change is going to hit taxpayers with is going to be astounding. People don’t realize all the things that will need to be changed. Like millions of road signs, official maps, laws, etc. And then there are other economic issues: Is it even legal to do things like drill for oil in the Gulf of America when your lease says it’s the Gulf of Mexico? I mean I hope that’s a result, but I doubt that was the intent.
Do you really think that these nitwits have the mental capacity to think about consequences like these, or just consequences at all?
They don’t have the mental capacity and that is fine because they don’t need it, as they don’t care either about consequences.
If their shit brings down the entire US economy, and the country itself, it’s fine. They will just instruct Fox news and oann to blame the immigrants, and that will just give them the excuse to get a final solution for that problem.
See? There are no problems, just things that gives you the opportunity to get even more shit done.
No, of course not. They think nothing through. They just implement their ideas and expect them to not fail. And then when they inevitably fail, it’s always the fault of the left.
