So many important issues affecting America right now ..... and the country and its government is fixated and pouring so much energy, manpower, knowledge, education, experience and capability into .... renaming something on a map that no really gives a shit about.

Cowards and sycophants. But this is a problem I, as a Chicagoan, am already familiar with. You see we have this building called the Willis Tower. But everyone here knows that Willis is correctly spelled "Sears."
So you see, the correct spelling of the America in the context of the Gulf is "Mexico."

Hijacking this to plug contributing to OSM. Improving your local area is very rewarding and can pair well with some youtube binging. Take a look at your city and see if there are things you're interested in working on.

You misunderstand, that’s exactly the point. Giving you something to talk about, while rights are eroded elsewhere.

Open Street Maps needs more contributors!
Been playing the StreetComplete game, which is very much Pokemon Go but helping OSM data.

The rest of the world obviously will not follow suit, but foreign companies selling maps in the US will have to comply, so it is just another exception that need to be handled. Naming and boundary disputes between countries have existed for years, and map makers just make enough versions to satisfy every country.

Another day another issue that completely doesn't matter at all to distract from the fact that our politicians are incapable of actually fixing any of our problems.

Politicians are more than capable of solving our problems. They’re paid not to.

Or making them worse. He just upped taxes on the lower classes and gave the rich tax breaks... again.
