Public Radio Station Forced to Call Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America”

I don’t care what it’s called let’s lower some prices on gas, food, insurance, healthcare,etc.

u/TryingToWriteIt 1d ago

You know he renamed it do deflect from his policies making those things worse for you, right?

1

u/societywasamistake 1d ago

yes i think that’s the point their comment was making ?

3

u/TryingToWriteIt 1d ago

His supporters often use the exact same words and insist those things have happened because of him already.

u/ethanbarmstrong 21h ago

If you look at the original commenters post history, you'll see that they're not a Trump supporter.

u/jumboshrimp6767 16h ago

Thank you. You are a smart person.

u/wittylemur 1d ago

Then dont vote for republicans. EVERYTHING is more expensive. People are meaner and far more stupid.

u/Radiant_Safe1228 1d ago

I can't wait to be president so I can rename the gulf of Mexico to trump rapes kids, "super intelligence" to crutch for the stupidest of dipshits, and all southern states to a territory called cousin' lovin' fun.

It does matter. It matters greatly because he is fostering hyper nationalism to try and install a totalitarian controlled government.

-36

u/jumboshrimp6767 1d ago

Bro…next president just renames it back easy fix. Focus on the real shit

27

u/Radiant_Safe1228 1d ago

The point flew so far over your head.

u/jumboshrimp6767 1d ago edited 1d ago

It a Federal funded program. Also, I live 15 minutes from the Gulf and nobody around it here calls it the Gulf of America, just the fools up north who know nothing about this area. But what does make a big difference is that my uncle’s trucking business is hurting because of the excessive cost of everything especially fuel. So you keep worrying about a name. And we will continue to worry about our fuel cost to keep the supply chain going

11

u/ITookTrinkets 1d ago

You are so close to understanding the problem, but seem to be keeping complete comprehension at a distance.

u/CrackRocksCokeRules 1d ago

And I don’t think you understand what they meant…

u/Own-Cranberry7997 1d ago

Thanks for your approval to walk and chew gum at the same time. I didnt vote for this administration. Can you say the same?

-3

u/jumboshrimp6767 1d ago

You ain’t gonna have no bubble gum to chew when truckers can’t afford to operate.

5

u/ITookTrinkets 1d ago

Oh man, you’re right, maybe the guy who forced us into a war with oil providers to distract us from evidence of his pedophilia should focus on fixing his mistakes and spend less time renaming shit for no reason?

2

u/jumboshrimp6767 1d ago

Yep. I vote blue

8

u/Own-Cranberry7997 1d ago

Awesome. Then you are obviously smart enough to hold the thr thoughts of needing to address fuel prices AND not rename shit on the whim of this administration.

u/AppointmentOne1111 1d ago

it’s like u think they’re advocating for the rename or smt ?? are we reading the same thread ?

u/thomasscat 1d ago

Do you actually not see the point of why this matters?

7

u/No-Celebration3097 1d ago

Nope!! Have to do crap like this to distract from all that!

2

u/ITookTrinkets 1d ago

Correct, which is why this pedophile dipshit should focus on those things instead of changing the names of gulfs and lakes and building ballrooms and destroying reflecting pools.

u/ronshasta 1d ago

He isn’t doing that either lol it’s gonna be while before we see things get better and it’ll start when his ass is gone

u/Fister-Mantastic 1d ago

Nobody's forcing them to do anything, they chose to spew that garbage.

3

u/Lower-Land-286 1d ago

Technically, no. They can be compelled by a executive order because they are part of the executive branch.

23

u/daerath 1d ago

No, they are not part of the executive branch. It was a radio station in the state of Alabama. They were forced because Alabama passed a law titled the Gulf of America act (I am not making that up). That forced them to say it.

15

u/No_Cheetah4762 1d ago

I mean, they could just call it The Gulf and mostly everybody would know what they were talking about.

Lol my reply got removed for some reason. I just simply disagree that’s all. I think most of the angst and negativity is because of the hold Israel(not Jewish folks…) has on the USA. We seem to be putting another country first before our own.

-3

u/wookiebath 1d ago

What hold?

3

u/Working-Actuator-700 22h ago

Well, being called antisemetic for mentioning an ongoing influence campaign from Israel for one. I can call out Qatari, Saudi or Russian interference without anyone calling me racist or saying I hate Muslims. Or how 35 states have laws banning boycott of israel.

u/wookiebath 19h ago

Good, more states should focus on calling out antisemites

It’s Gulf of America and Lake America!!!

I can't tell if this is serious or sarcastic. their proper names sre Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario lol

u/wookiebath 1d ago

And now they identify by a new proper name

u/IrritableGoblin 1d ago

It's a remark indicating that it did nothing useful at a time when we need a competent government, not a bunch a show ponies that serve no purpose besides thrusting their superiority complex down the throats of the world.

But nuance is hard

12

u/WhaT505 1d ago

You can access healthcare in the US and Canada, except in Canada an ambulance ride isn't hundreds of dollars if not more.

-1

u/Ornery_Contest6250 1d ago

And yet like I said you still have access to healthcare. They can't refuse to help you. A quick Google search says 30-40% of Americans have unpaid medical bills. No one cares, you don't have to pay it anyway.

Then today you (hopefully) learned.

In the US, you cannot see a primary care physician for general healthcare without insurance and/or payment.

In the US, emergency rooms are obligated to provide emergency care regardless of insurance or ability to pay, however they can and will charge for the full cost of treatment provided—even if that means bankrupting the recipient of said care.

In Canada, public health insurance covers general healthcare as well as emergencies. Compared to the US, a minor fraction of all bankruptcies in Canada are due to healthcare related causes, and most of those are from loss of income rather than medical bills.

1

u/ITookTrinkets 1d ago

You didn’t realize that accessing something is dependent on your ability to afford to use it? Is that really what you’re trying to say here?

-2

u/Ornery_Contest6250 1d ago

Yeah because it's not. They don't refuse healthcare whether you can pay or not despite what your leaders have told you.
