This is the map of the Gulf of Mexico as seen from outside the US on Google Maps.

Google said it would foist the Gulf of America idiocy only on its US users, but apparently the temptation to flatter His Orangeness was too much, so the rest of the world gets to enjoy it too.

I figured I’d rename it too. I mean why not after all: it seems any idiot can make up geography now.

      If you couldn’t tell this isn’t a political war, it’s a class war. We need to stand up to these mega corporations because their billionaire CEOs are the root cause of this issue and we’re all happily donating money to them by letting them use our data for free.

      Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon… They are all actively involved in every other “important thing” you could mention.
