if 14 billion is the number they want to use for it, it makes it even easier to call out

ill see if I can dig it up, but I think MIT Technology Review specced it out and came up with $38b as the rough back of the napkin cost estimate

Interest rates are at historically low levels, the United States desperately needs Keynesian spending in infrastructure to give the economy a boost and provide jobs to the working class.

This is actually a great move and if Obama had bothered with a jobs creation program instead of just bailing out reckless CEO's of banks and automakers then Trump probably wouldn't be President right now

The stimulus literally did that, although progressive economists say it should've been bigger. Trump's stimulus is mostly tax cuts

:freep: good thing we're going to be cutting taxes in lieu of actual infrastructure spending under the scam theory that those companies will be enticed into letting those cuts trickle down to the consumer :freep:

There's no loving way a reification of the fantasy wall costs anything less than a trillion dollars.

Every 100 feet of that (fantasy) wall would cost probably $100,000 if you figure in the logistics of building a huge wall in a totally inhospitable part of the world. It's literally an insane fantasy.

[edit] actually 100 feet of tall reinforced concrete wall anchored at anti-tunnel depth into the ground through hard country would be way more expensive than $100,000.

I don't drink or do drugs if I'm depressed. I was planning to drink a lot in celebration of Clinton's win, but then that didn't happen and I've been sober since for the MAGApocalypse. I should probably rectify that.

People should listen to last week's This American Life where they interviewed and ICE guy. Walls are stupid. They built a section of 10 foot wall and overnight 11 foot ladders started being used. And so many ladders were used to scale over the wall that they started piling up and they had nowhere to put them

A trillion seems a little crazy. I imagine like 100 billion or so.

Hey emfive, this is Alec. I am glad you like the mummy eating the bowl of shitty pasta with a can of 'parm.' I made that image for you way back when. I’m glad you enjoy it.

The Big Dig, a shallow underground highway through Boston, cost about that over a decade ago. It's like maybe 5? 6 miles of road? Sure it's impressive and huge and everything and I love Boston since the Big Dig, but compared to a 1000 miles of gigantic Mordor border wall it's like nothing.

Do the math. Pick a size for a stretch of wall, think about the primary secondary and tertiary costs, and multiply it out.

It's been really interesting watching The New Yorker writers become more and more radicalized since the election. These dudes did not talk like this before lol

The resistance is growing, comrades.

:getin:

Evan Osnos was on fresh air today talking about his article about the Silicon Valley rich becoming doomsday preppers. I had run across this previously when the Hawaiian raised eBay founder turned out to have a 90 day supply of emergency food and medicine in an undisclosed location in Hawaii.

Also, Peter Thiel is a NZ citizen for the same reason.

As much as I hate the wall I don't think you can compare the two.
