Why won't somebody think of the economy??

It's a little different in Greenland (which is why I wrote my follow up comment after reading more). Consider that there are ~17 villages with one airport, and no roads between them. There is a lot of poverty, and a very short, small funded tourist season. A huge chunk live in poverty, without basic medical care, and the population is wholly dependent on Denmark. This is one of those places where thinking about the economy is important. No billionaires there to push for taxes on, not like that would happen anyway.
