It affected literally nothing but paper.

Important note, because the name changed to gulf of America instead of, gulf of Mexico, oil drillers might challenge anti oli drilling laws that exist there as it’s only effects the gulf of Mexico in the legislation, and not the gulf of America. At least, this is what I’ve heard about it.

I only care because it makes us look stupid to the rest of the world.

Correction: The name change itself affects nothing but paper. The time and effort that goes into convincing people to change the name is at best wasteful, and at worst humiliating and petty.

Hey someone should tell DOGE that our government is wasting time and effort trying to rename the gulf…

Gulf of No Savings, adjacent to the Bay of Bad Decisions

Seems like an idea Momonga would have.
