Gulf of America.

Presumably the federal government has allotted the necessary funds to buy new pull down maps and globes for every one of the 116,000+ schools in the US and overseas DoD schools or are they expecting children to study using Chinese tablets?

 

But isn't the federal government about to cut the Department of Education, passing more of the cost onto the states.

 

US made Globes, mostly now discounted. Loss of revenue? And probably the first US-correct globes to go on sale will be Chinese made;

Meanwhile the Governor of Illinois is declaring that Lake Michigan will be renamed Lake Illinois, and he will be seeking Google to reflect the change. He's also looking to incorporate Green Bay into the Great State of Illinois. And he's having a think about the MIssissippi. Didn't mention the Ohio River.

 

 

An incredible video. Proof some septics do know sarcasm.

Well we are all a ltttiel crazy in our own little ways. But yeah google has renamed it in maps as has Apple. So it seems Trump has more influence on the matter than you do. 

 

Only for US viewers, in the ROW, its reduced to the bit in brackets, an after thought. The President is now banning press agencies from the White House who have an editorial policy that he doesn't like.

So much for Freedom of Speech. This is the sort of thing the Wahabi Extremists (the same extremists who inspired 911) in Saudi Arabia did, when they got the US Navy to kowtow to them, and started calling the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf.

 

Trumpf missed a trick not naming it after himsef. People could have thought of him while they took a slash into it.

Here's some Mexican history for you: the Yaqui extermination war of the 1880s, in which Yaquis ended up seeking refuge from the Mexican army in Arizona and Texas. Northern Mexico has always been unstable; it is today. And wars against Indian peoples has persisted in Mexico from the time of the Spanish conquest on through until today. 

 

There are no Indians living in Mexico, outside of the Embassy.

The folks who live in those coastal States, including the state that voted for Trump, are most likely very grateful for biden's action. During his last term, Trump backed off on his threats to open up some Waters off the state of Florida to drilling.

 

 

Very early in my scientific career, before defence research, I was a research fellow in one of the Gulf coast marine research labs. They didn't excellent work, considering the paltry funding they received. Coming from the UK, I'd imagined it would be similar, where industry and academia work closely together in the sciences for mutual benefit. Where I was  was home to most the world's top chemical companies plus the oil companies. One of the oil companies, the one with a religious symbol, gave an annual grant to the lab where I worked. In return, they asked for an Open Day, so the public could see how much they supported local marine research. The oil company actually had zero interest in the research projects.

 

When Deepwater Horizon happened, one of the issues was no one had a good baseline of what the Gulf was like before, because there had been so little funding. Local people became very interested; the fisheries are very important to the local economies, both for commerical fishing, but also for the tourism it attracts. All of that was under threat. I'm pleased to say BP suddenly became very interested in the research these labs did.

I don't believe even most Americans will call it the Trump name.

Renaming it was total idiocy.

How many Americans called French Fries Freedom Fries even when that was a thing?

Did that stick?

This won't either.

 

 

It doesn't matter but seems to upset you. You mad bro?

Yes, names designate only apply to the USA. Sea of Japan South China Sea English channel whatever this isn't the first thing people call different names. Speaking of misnaming you intentionally spelt Trump wrong. You are in violation.
