5. Very few, if any. Greenland is not a poor country. Incomes are good.

$10,000 or even $100,000 one-time payment is not going to fundamentally change very many Grenlanders' lives. A survey from earlier in the year showed I think only 3% in favor of being part of the US. The vast majority of the population are smart enough to know becoming part of the US would be a disaster. I suspect a very large majority of the population would say you couldn't pay them enough money to agree to be part of the US.
