Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.

Look we're wasting our hard earned tax payer money on crazy fraudulent things like science, education, weather, feeding children, helping the poor, medicine... Dumb things like that. And you're gonna tell me that changing the name of a body of water to include the greatest God damn country in America is a waste? Next thing you know you're gonna stand there and tell me that poor people should be able to afford a hospital visit.

I hope they're so screwed over and see no real progress come next election because many are being affected, that's for sure. They'll reap the shittier half of what they sowed.

I don't think Russians want to follow the US at every move. At least, they only seem to do it at their convenience.

I used to be a "let's find some mutual understanding" guy but now that they've dumped this disaster on the nation I have no sympathy for them. Lost your healthcare? Cuts in services? Sucks to be you...
-
I just do not understand what the big deal is about the name of this fucking thing. I understand trump trying to change it out of nowhere is dumb as fuck, but who cares? why go through the stress? Like just rename it something without a countries name in it. Like the Gulf of Jeff or something. Nobodies butthurt about this shit that don’t matter then.

Maybe this is the thing that finally unites the cartels.

I'd like to say I did that on purpose to show how dumb they'd be renaming it, but it is I who can't remember my East and West

TIL…
The abbreviation E.E.U.U. (often written as EE. UU.) stands for Estados Unidos (United States) in Spanish. This abbreviation follows a grammatical rule in Spanish where doubling the initial letters of each word indicates plurality
So you taught me something today I did not know. Thank you!!

I assumed it was the second one, but the first one there also sounds plausible.
-
Hey! What did I ever do to you?
-
Yes, Mexico. Attack them with your air force.
-
Are you going to chip in for my air fare?
-
Are you seriously suggesting nothing whatsoever would happen if Google just didn't update their maps to the new name?

I stopped using everything Google. Fascist collaborators won't get a dime of my money, won't get my eyeballs on any of their ads, and won't get a single kilobyte of data from me to sell for profit.
I'll keep my gmail account open because all it really does is accumulate spam which probably costs them money.

But the US isn't the one calling the shots.

The word "America" is not reserved for the USA alone and belongs to the entire Americas: North America, Central America, South America. As such if they want to rename the Gulf of Mexico then it should be the Gulf of North America of which both the USA and Mexico are a part of and share borders around that body of water.
Furthermore the word "America" isn't an English word but the German bastardization of an Italian word. Specifically the word "America" was coined by Martin Waldseemüller a German cartographer who named the Americas after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci who explored the new continents for Spain and Portugal.

So if this is the big orange blow-fish's attempt to dis on Mexico then it's pretty petty much like everything he does to massage his massive ego.

Don't sue- just threaten to block some of googles services in your country and they'll come around real quick. Hit em where it hurts. Google isn't hurting for lawyers.
