The mnemonic used to be HOMES. Now it will be SHAME. This shit writes itself.

Good thing Trump's opinion means nothing then

You're joking right? Sure, his opinions are stupid but I invite you to open google maps and scroll over to the body of water between the US and Mexico.

That's just corporate complacency. Thankfully Google doesn't dictate the names of things, either.

It's the exact opposite of 'his opinions don't matter' though.

For me it says

Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)

atzanteol@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 10d

Yes. If his opinions didn't matter it would only say 'Gulf of Mexico'.

So do more than 70% of Americans.

you mean 25%. 45% don't vote, which means they are fine with Trump.

Aren't most locks at the great lakes under Canadian control? Wouldn't it be a shame if those locks would suddenly go into urgent maintenance?

Go ahead USA, waste a bunch of time and money on something that makes no difference to Canada!
