Am American. Can confirm, we are very stupid, which means we’ll probably try this.
Yes, but that’s not the reason why
Good idea!
Hey, Canada, we need all your dirt.
They’re already sending Jordan Peterson, that’s quite a bit.
Oops, sorry, misread that as “shit”.
they dont want to look like a turkey.
but we all know, its way too late for that.
once all the contractors get out of gator’traz they’ll resume work
Somebody get this to Trump’s desk! Let’s make it happen, people!
Sharpie it up!!
Should be waaaay bigger. The line must be drawn at the end of the Aleutian Islands.
Team Magma Grunt breathes heavily
There’s a scientist trying to do just that. Lex something
We’re trying!
I somehow misread garbage as cabbage for this.
pictures you can hear
That’s me
In about ten years, they’ll be able to connect all three with a land bridge made out of plastic garbage
I regret to inform you that it has become a specific cabbage patch.That’s where all those dang kids come from!
Please take down this post. It will give the current administration ideas. First term he just drew outside the lines and this is exactly that.
Here’s why. The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b. Given the shape is about 8m square km, and an average seafloor depth of about 3km, this project would cost about $1500 trillion dollars. That’s slightly under half of the new ICE budget and would not be approved by Congress.
The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b.
Actually, you’re wrong. According to the airport’s Wikipedia page, the volume filled was 180 million m³, or 0.18 km³. Taking your numbers of 8 million km² and a depth of 3 km we get a volume of 24 million km³ for a cost of $2 quintillion. That’s nearly a third of the US’s total defense budget!
Also, the US’s total land area is 9.5 million km², so this would require either stripping the top 2.5 km of ground from the entire US, or digging the state of Wyoming right down to the mantle. (I vote for the latter; who even lives in Wyoming anyways?)
Yea with those kind of dollars we should be kicking out more immigrants who jaywalked.
Maybe the Dutch can help out with this.
It would create new spots in the house and Senate. Changing the whole dynamic of political. So it’ll never happen and if it does… It’ll just be a territory like Puerto Rico or Washington DC.
Can’t have folks having representation
If you want trump to do, here’s what you’ll need to do:
Make the bottom border go straight across and connect to Mexico, then build that giant wall along the new mexican-us border.
The added benefit here is a larger border with Mexico, meaning he can run around screaming about the now larger border with Mexico, while simultaneously cutting off Mexico’s west coast from the ocean, fucking their supply routes. He’d absolutely be on board for this.
