Thanks for following up on my comment with the most important link!
In my submittal, my reasoning also included the fact that the change to “Gulf of America” didn’t follow the official process.

The place to protest this isn’t Google.
We need to have everyone propose a name change to the official body in charge of place names, the US Board on Geographic Names.
Unfortunately, one of the rules on name changes is “Changing a name merely to correct or re-establish historical usage is not in and of itself a reason to change a name.”
On the other hand, they also say “The most important consideration is local use and acceptance,” so the sooner we act, the better.

Give them a few months
Most American cities aren’t New York.
We have no real public transit, and many of our cities were urbanization following the invention of the automobile and are spread out to accommodate the automobile infrastructure and longer commutes.
Houston is our third most-populous city and has a metroplex with a Combined Statistical Area of over 12,000 square miles. That makes it roughly the size of the Netherlands, with around 40% the population of the Netherlands. Soon, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are going to form one giant metroplex that’s 60,000 square miles.
Also Roz from Monster’s Inc, who is obsessed with proper paperwork.
He’s among my desktop figurines at the office. Here’s a heavily-cropped photo (too much identifiable info in the wide shot):

Don’t forget getting the interview.
I’ve got the right column on lock. I’ve never had an interview that wasn’t followed by an offer. But I was still stuck in a dead-end job for years trying to get an interview.
Once I finally got an interview adjacent to my field, I was promoted within 6 months, then poached by another organization a year after that and had quadrupled my income in under 2 years.
But it took forever to get that process started.
A drink that tastes like melted churro ice cream.
Maybe them draining the Calofornia reservoirs used to irrigate crops during the summer to cause widespread crop failures and drive up food prices massively in a few months.
They’re actively trying to cripple the country to please Putin.
That order lasted about 10 minutes before a judge appointed by Ronald Fucking Reagan.
Ex post facto laws are expressly prohibited in Article I, so they can’t pass a law criminalizing downloads from before the law was passed.
They can, however, criminalize possessing a copy of DeepSeek. In that case you’d be legally required to delete it after the law passed.
When fascists start trying to get stricter on guns, it’s time to buy more of them.
And they should do actual filibusters and do 2am quorum calls to keep the GOP in the building at all times.
Only 31.8% of Americans voted for him. The plurality winner was “didn’t vote.”
It was a long occupation because it was a failure. Sucessful occupations stop being occupations within a few years.
I can’t miss work to protest the federal government.
I get that disruption is important, but I need little things like food and a roof, and I have to work to secure those things no matter how much I hate the administration.
The foot has already been shot, and trying to save it will end up costing the rest of the leg at best.
Amputate the fucker to save the leg.
He’s a special category.
Lots of people are evil because they want to have more than anybody else.
Elon already has more than anybody else in the history of the planet, and he’s getting more evil.
