    This is already going to cost taxpayers a fortune in governmental redrawn maps, of which there are a ridiculous number across federal and state departments, and that’s before you go into even more costly things like replacing all the road signs that mention the Gulf of Mexico.

    Which makes me wonder how much it is going to cost all these tech companies that reference it to do the same. Some of it is just changing a word in a database, but I have a feeling that’s only some of it.

      Not as much as changing it all back when the Narcissus-in-chief finally corks it and they all pretend not to have debased themselves so shamelessly and utterly.
