That's why I'm surprised Trump didn't sign an executive order to rename the 'Canada goose' bird to 'America goose'.

Is he asleep at the wheel, or how did he miss this opportunity?

macspoofing•3mo ago
Or Lake Ontario to Lake New York.
ethersteeds•3mo ago
I always said Canada geese are stealing the American workers' job of last resort: sleeping in the park. He really should do something.

Unless you’re heavy weighted in stocks.

> When the Associated Press announced that it would stick with Gulf of Mexico, Trump blocked AP reporters from the Oval Office

Isn’t more people concerned with how much Trump thinks its fine to poke around with the freedom of press?

reactordev•3mo ago
Good, renaming it was not the smartest of moves to begin with. Considering it’s a gulf because of the gulf, which is down in Mexico. Our border with it is really like the outer wall of a harbor. It’s only there to guide you towards the end.
cubefox•3mo ago
Seems to be a pretty even split: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd....

"Gulf of North America" would make more sense, because most people regard (just) "America" as synonymous with "USA". Though that name would perhaps be more appropriate for the Hudson Bay, which is farther north.

akagusu•3mo ago
Only people from US think in America as synonymous with USA
Dilettante_•3mo ago
That's not true. I live in Europe(Germany) and I as well as everyone I know personally says "America" when we mean "the USA" and mean "the USA" when we say "America".
reactordev•3mo ago
That’s brand awareness right there. We got em.

I visited Germany a few years ago and I can confirm that they called me “The American” and referred to the US as America. My colleagues explanation was “There’s Romanians, from Romania. There’s Hungarians from Hungary. There’s Americans from America.” I laughed a bit when he said it.

cubefox•3mo ago
The term "US American" is also common, e.g. in media to refer to the nationality of a gold medal winner.
candlemas•3mo ago
I went to a minor national park over the summer (Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park) and there was a map of the United States showing all the national parks in the country with a "Gulf of America" sticker placed over "Gulf of Mexico".
IAmBroom•3mo ago
I really badly want to hear that the sticker was cheap-looking, and even peeling.
foofoo12•3mo ago
Let's just call it for what it is, The Gulf of The Dead Cat.

"The dead cat strategy is a kind of misdirection where somebody will say something so ridiculous or do something so outlandish that it takes your attention away from where they don't want you to look. ..."

It is really concerning that this post was flagged.

It looks interesting for me and not specially politically oriented or "partisan" but a fun fact with stats.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I have the feeling that it was flagged unfairly to mask the disturbing reality shown by numbers.

There is a sustainable censorship campaign running on HN. Everything that makes government looks bad or is contrary to government beliefs gets flagged

Has anyone checked if Trump thinks he’s talking about favorite sport? I can understand if he wants to call it golf of America.
