Apple Adopting 'Gulf of America' Naming for Apple Maps

In the course of government, a constitutional crisis results when one or more of the parties to a political dispute willfully chooses to violate a law of the constitution; or to flout an unwritten constitutional convention; or to dispute the correct, legal interpretation of the violated constitutional law or of the flouted political custom. We’re seeing quite a bit of this lately.

There is a reason he left school and you go and hit him up with facts.

Do you have a +1?

@csjuk, now now, he’s got a point there—in a way Trump is exposing corruption. 😉 (That should really be a sad wink emoji, but i couldn’t find one.)

(In Trump voice) “There’ll be corruption…the likes of which has never been seen in this country.”

I’ve only had the car for a year and a half and turning on the AC would stunk it up for a third of that time. Constant issues and each time I send it in for a repair I’d have to look forward to another.

I’ve come around on the R1S. While still a young company it’s a very capable car especially if you’re into off-roading.

Ah don't need the AC here. It is bloody freezing most of the year.

As for off road, I wouldn't buy an EV for that. I had a Defender 110 for a while back in the 90s. Would probably get and mod a 2018 or so Dacia Duster now. I've done a lot of off road driving in Iceland and there's certain things I'd trust and certain things I won't.

Why does the US need its special name?
Everywhere else it is Gulf of Mexico.

It was name it that or Trump Tower.

I figure the problem is that there are people we don't want to live on this planet any more. Some of them are trying to get to Mars. Perhaps we should encourage them. I mean I'm not even bothered if they don't get there, just that they leave the planet.

Mexico plans to rename North America to North Mexico.

I’m still waiting to find out how this is going to make groceries or healthcare cheaper in the United States

 

[Lioness~]

Fortunately our beloved Earth are bigger than US - it’s looks pretty ok from my view.

 

[DownUnderDan]

The only damage he’s doing is exposing corruption

I guess if you mean by demonstrating how corruption works in his own government... maybe.

 

[verdi1987]

I wish I was joking, but a Republican Congressman from Georgia authored a bill to give congressional approval/support to acquire Greenland AND to rename it Red White and Blueland.

When I read the initial comment, I figured the Congressman must be from Georgia! That sounds like something a Georgia representative would do.

Was 'Gulf of Small Pee-Pee Syndrome' unavailable?

 

[macjoshua]

It'll last until the orange village idiot is out of office, then hopefully a decent president will switch it back. As an American, I'm embarrassed and hate this country.

fascist pets.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Of all the issues in today’s world, this is the least of our problems.

Let’s hope for better times and not start renaming things on maps.

 

[tyranne201]

they should work harder on expanding Apple Maps features.

They are only a problem if your government pays attention to them. Trump and Elon are fixing that now for you.

 

[tyranne201]

All the tech companies are too afraid of bucking anything with this administration

no matter what Apple says about LGBT or saving Mother Earth or making trash woven cases. is just a facade for making more money. And people still believe Tim Cook is a benevolent guy which will give away money to poor people when in the first opportunity he sides with fascists.

I mean, its just proof that their decisions like taking the charger away or making the package smaller is just for profit.

Trump and Elon are fixing that now for you.

With racist interns.

Had an R1T for 6 months and it was in the shop 2.5 of those months! Reliability is a major concern with Rivian so do your homework or at least lease it. Sold the R1T as soon as it drove well before something else broke!

 

[Robert.Walter]

WTAF Apple?

 

[johnsawyercjs]

It's official: half of the US now lives in Mike Judge's "Idiocracy", and they love it.

 

[Robert.Walter]

Gulf of Americas would recognize everyone.

 

[johnsawyercjs]

I would have gone with Gulf of North America, but Gulf of America is ok. I could see getting upset if it was renamed Gulf of the United States, but it’s not. It’s a gulf in the American continent. 🤷🏻‍♂️

By that logic, "Gulf of the Americas" would be better, but Trump and his enablers don't care about the rest of the Americas. Also, it's the Gulf of Mexico.

Still a young company so reliability is always a concern. I heard the service is much more consumer friendly than Tesla and if you’re lucky enuf you don’t have to deal with them as much. Seen plenty of ppl happy with theirs so🤞🏻
