@bellule @randahl This is not to diminish the colonial exploitation of the cryolite mining, in terms of enviromental, social and economical consequences. Also, I believe most Greenlanders would prefer not to have "help" from Danes, as Randahl terms it, they want to be recognised as equals and stand on their own.

@bellule @randahl Of course, DK should have invested much more in Greenland, but the 400 billion are based on a documentary which has been heavily criticized for skewing those numbers. They are turnover, not surplus numbers. The costs of maintaining mining operations were very high, and 20% of the surplus did go directly to the Greenland budget. Mining ended in 1962, coinciding with 2-3 following decades of massive investments in Greenland infrastructure, schools, factories, airports, etc.
