Whichever country is better still fits the underlying premise, that the best country should be the one that rules the colony.
No it doesn't because greenlanders don't want to be bought and every single poll is going to bear that out, while Californians might actually go for this, at least in the abstract. The universal healthcare is a massive jump up in quality of living whereas Greenland under US rule is a massive dripping whatever QOL they have.
Also, the US isn't asking to buy Greenland, they're pretending they'd buy it and then are just going to take it and then not pay anyone anything.
California is rich enough to afford our own universal healthcare system. If we wanted to be distinct from the US, we could "just" secede and still have a massive economy and also have universal healthcare.
Yeah, and?
They're socialists!
