This is a seriously stupid issue.
Why can't we deal with this like twitters name change where everyone basically ignores it and just keeps calling it the same name as before?
That's my plan. Unless I wish to mock it with a silly voice.
Because places like Google Maps have to deal with Trump's, in my opinion, NAZI fueled legal and financial revenge pursuits.
Who cares? Just because multi-trillion dollar corporation Google has to deal with it doesn't mean we have to play along.
The politicians and corporations can do whatever bullshit they do, but average people can also choose to ignore that crap.
At least when it comes to changing well established names. There's other stuff that has real world consequences and that sucks, but we can at least hold the line in this case.
Denali.
Gulf of Mexico.
From now until the end of time.
Like the bean, sears tower, and Comiskey Park
Does anyone other than Trump want these names changed? Alaska spent decades trying to get the name changed to Denali.
Trump doesn't want the names changed. His puppetmasters want something that will stay in the headlines for as long as possible.
Well the Donvict can fuck all the way off up his own ass. It's the Gulf of Mexico, and Denali.
Complicit press bends knee.
Did you read the article? They had sound reasoning for their choices here.
Yes. I do not consider their reasoning sound.
Well, shows where AP lies.
Disappointed to say the least…
I think their take is pretty pragmatic. It makes sense since the AP is an American news outlet.
But not surprised.
Lol, the most leftist news outlet. Be neutral as possible.
Law is law, until challenged by a court.
That doesn't sound very left, infact that isn't left at all.
AP is most leftist I don’t think so
