As a Dutch I don’t understand this joke
After reading through the comments it could also be related to climate change but what first came to mind was the american housing crisis. Some people seem to think that the housing crisis could be solved by having more room for houses while, how I understand it, it is actually not a problem of available living space but a problem of affordable living space.
A simple map of population density across the US should clearly show that lebensraum is not the problem indeed. It’s more a question of places that are both desirable for the opportunities they offer, while being affordable.
The joke is that we have more land to the north so we don’t have to. We can just invade Canada before we start with polders
Drive through a few underpopulated towns and tell me that there’s no place for more people in America. Empty downtowns, empty houses, empty factories… There might be economic reasons why people don’t want to or can’t live in these places, but the one thing we absolutely have enough of in this country is space.
we get the dirt from the Moon
the Moon dirt will be even closer to the ocean when it’s under it instead of over it, so the tides will work even better
Couple Dutch engineers will get that sorted for you no problem.
Maybe this was why Trump wanted to buy Greenland lol
