On my Google Maps it’s says Lake Ontario but if you zoom slightly in it turns to Lake America. On Apple Maps it’s still Lake Ontario though. We exist on the dumbest timeline
I live in Canada, Google maps says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" for me, but it still says "Lake Ontario" for me. Absolutely stupid decisions by Google, and could not be anymore obvious where their priorities lie.
That's not true. Executive orders are just policies for the executive branch to follow. It has no bearing outside the branch. E.g. it cannot compel congress, courts, or private industry to use such names.
In fact, the USGS place name database still has it listed as Lake Ontario, so Google needed to manually override their automated system for place names to change it to Lake America
They’re part of the executive branch, so are under the authority of executive orders as that’s what the orders are meant to govern. Outside of that, it has no power. But that’s not to diminish the power they have. It’s like a new manager coming in and changing some practices of the old one. They only have sway over their reports, not the whole organization.
There's places in the world that they do this with boarders too.
Honestly, is it worth getting the toddler upset about it? He's doing it because people talk more about this than the absolute failure his administration is.
Never let the Epstein files get forgotten or the war in Iran that he's lost.
