5 Million Shitty Jobs, 5 Million Robots, and a Plan You're Not Supposed to See

Let me tell you a story about a Viking named Erik the Red.

Around 985 AD this Norwegian explorer got himself exiled from Iceland for killing a few people and needed somewhere to go. He sailed west and found a massive ice covered island that he cleverly named “Greenland” to trick settlers into thinking it was hospitable. It worked. Norse colonies popped up and for the next five hundred years Greenland remained firmly Scandinavian until Denmark formally claimed sovereignty in 1721. That was three hundred years ago. Three centuries of unbroken Danish rule. The United States of America did not even exist as a concept when Denmark planted its flag on that frozen rock.
