Geopolitics and Local Governance: A Humorous Critique

This chapter humorously explores the absurd fascination with acquiring Greenland and its implications on U.S. geopolitics, sheathed in discussions of imperialism and public opinion.

Additionally, the chapter tackles issues of resource allocation for disaster management, connecting local governance challenges with broader social responsibility and healthcare funding debates.
