    God I hope this happens, it will be absolutely hilarious when the GCP services on which MX infraestructure for telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, banking, agriculture, logistics and health is built up, crashes burning to the ground.

      You also have to be able to curse well, and hate shoveling snow.

      Hm, I actually don't hate shoveling snow yet but I bet that'd change after a few more times doing it.

          You think Google and Apple should call it the Gulf of America?

          I think Google and Apple should call it whatever the official names are, not to take any sort of political stance.

              He literally said he would be a dictator if elected.

              Maybe pay attention rather than hurl silly insults.

              Trump said on the “day one” he referred to, he would use his presidential powers to close the southern border with Mexico

              That's from article you linked. Maybe read the content of the articles you link to, not just the headlines.

                I read it. How does that mean he didn't literally say he would be a dictator if elected? That was one of the examples he gave of how he would be a dictator.

                  Then why add “Gulf of America” in countries that do not recognize the name?

                    Oh yeah, I forgot. Implying people enjoy soy is an insult. Ouch! My feelings.

                    I never said Dictayorship. Because that's terrible spelling of the only word you needed to spell correctly to actually criticise me. I also never linked the mislabeling of the Gulf as destroying the planet. He is though...

                    He proclaimed that he will "OWN" Gaza through means of literal ethnic cleansing. He's conspiring with Putin to help finalise his invasion of eastern Ukraine. He's currently purging the Government of minorities and people he deems unloyal. Elon Musk is infiltrating and tearing up government departments as an unelected right-hand entity. His right-wing army are, by algorithm, shifting the western world easily into fascism. I could go on but I'm done with you.

                    Bottom line... pay attention.

                    Also... the fact that you put forward Trump was elected by majority of Americans is a straight out lie. Grow up.

                    Oh, I mistyped a word, while writing on my phone. That means I'm wrong, who did I miss that?!

                    Its also funny how you say Trump "is infiltrating and tearing down government departments". Bro, he's the president, everything he's doing it's in his powers. Did the previous president also "infiltrate" the government departments?

                    He's "purging" the DEI hires, the people who are there just because of their skin color or sexual preferences, did you forget how the former white house speaker was "the first gay black woman"? That's the only thing that recomended her.

                    I'm really curious how Trump being elected by the majority of the Americans is a lie, please enlighten me.

                          He said "for one day, in order to secure the border with Mexico". Let's completely ignore that and run with the headline that supports your view, right?

                            In case you have forgotten, Google is an American company, every one of their decisions is taken in California. Maybe calling everything you don't agree "fascist" isn't a smart idea, since it shows that you have no idea what the meaning of that word is.

                              I did the exact opposite of completely ignoring it. I literally said, "that was one of the examples he gave of how he would be a dictator."

                              Weird to accuse me of ignoring something I addressed directly. I'm not sure what you hoped to achieve.

                                That is not what I asked.

                                OK, let’s reverse it, and say Mexico renamed the Gulf to something else. What do you think Google should do, inside Mexico and out?

                                  Inside Mexico they should name it whatever the Mexico calls it. Outside Mexico it should be called however it is called in the respective country.

                                  But again, Google is based in the US, all their decisions are made there.

                                    Dude, you are taking words out of context, you aren't addressing anything. You read the word "dictator", saw red in front of your eyes and ran with it.

                                          Yes, and in that case Google is taking a political stance by choosing to label “Gulf of America” outside the US.

                                          If Google was based in Mexico and a similar thing happened, people in the US would be utterly outraged over politicizing geography. And it would be quite obvious they are signaling cooperation to the Mexican government.
