***** Panic at Google over Gulf of Mexico and Trump! *****

Report: In panic, #Google management issued P0 (top priority) order for Gulf of Mexico change.

Apparently Google management issued a P0 -- quite rare -- ordering geo employees to drop EVERYTHING else and do it immediately! -- for the change from "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" for U.S. users. They were also ordered to move the status of the U.S. to "sensitive" where it joins countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Iraq that demand the use of names not used elsewhere in the world.

I can't emphasize enough how telling it is that a P0 was issued. To me, it suggests absolute panic in the C-suite.
