Imagine if all the maps and globes worldwide had to be reprinted, labeled with "GREENLAND (USA)". What kind of economic effects would this bring? This is not just a geopolitical joke; the underlying economic logic is quite interesting.



If this were actually done, the economic stimulus from redoing the entire industry chain of global maps, globes, textbooks, and navigation systems might offset the cost of land acquisition. A careful calculation suggests that the economic multiplier effect of this "map revolution" could reach the level of $700 billion — just enough to match the rumored purchase price.

Interestingly, this reflects an economic principle: large-scale geopolitical changes often trigger chain reactions of industry demand and economic activity.

Wow, this logic is so peculiar. Reprinting the map can recoup costs, it feels like a joke that adds an economic shell to geopolitical issues.

Haha, this is hilarious. I love this logic. A map printing revolution directly pays for itself? --- Wait, just update Google Maps, why bother printing paper versions... --- The 70 billion multiplier effect sounds great, but who will foot the bill for this "geopolitical joke"? --- Brilliant, this is what economists call "creative financing." --- So, as long as the supply chain is long enough, any outrageous thing can be justified with economic theory. I believe it. --- Really? Just here to find reasons for mergers and acquisitions? LOL

Haha, you really got me there. I love this logical chain. To put it simply, it's just a carnival at a printing press.
