From Wikipedia:
"The
economy of Greenland is characterized as small, mixed and vulnerable.
[8] Greenland's economy consists of a large
public sector and comprehensive
[9] foreign trade. This has resulted in an economy with periods of strong growth, considerable inflation, unemployment problems and extreme dependence on capital inflow from the
Kingdom Government.
[8] Greenland's economy is hampered by lack of infrastructure with less than 100 miles of paved roads. However as of 2012, partly due to the retreating ice sheet due to
climate change, Greenland was starting to emerge as a territory rich with untapped mining resources."
"Greenland's per capita disposable income is the lowest in the Arctic other than Russia's, and less than one third that of the American state of
Alaska.
[10] GDP per capita is close to the average for European economies, but the economy is critically dependent upon substantial support from the Danish government, which supplies about half the revenues of the
self-rule government, which in turn employs 10,307 Greenlanders
[11] out of 25,620 currently in employment (2015). Unemployment nonetheless remains high, with the rest of the economy dependent upon exports of shrimp and fish."
So here is a country with no agriculture, no industry, less than 100 miles in paved roads, two out of five are employed by the government and half the revenue for that is a handout from Denmark, the people live at the poverty level compared to Alaska and people openly complain that their education system and medical care are inadequate.
BB62, I don't care what the country bumpkin leaders of their five political parties got together and squealed. When they see The Light, they will come to Jesus.
