Sounds good to me.

I wonder if they’ll take an IOU?

I was hoping it would only take a parsec.

“Phoenix is more than 1000 ft. above sea level”

Well, America would have never gotten anywhere if we all had that attitude. Quitter!

We ought to call April 1 Biden Day. It is the only day of the year that fits him perfectly.

Very well conceived as satire. Here is the rest of the article:

Hector Fledermaus, President of the Southwestern North America Financial Union (SNAFU) unveiled the plan at a press conference in Gila Bend, which would eventually be sunk under 150 feet of water when the project is complete.

Fledermaus said this is the biggest SNAFU project ever undertaken including canal, pumps, and a set of locks like in the Panama Canal to keep the water from draining back into the Gulf.

“We considered waiting for global warming to melt the Greenland ice cap and letting this happen naturally but decided that we wanted the big bucks now,” Fledermaus said. “We will start platting out home sites on the beaches-to-be of the new Gulf of Arizona by June and accepting deposits from buyers by year end.”

SANFU is working with Princess Cruise Lines to make Phoenix a new port destination, and with the Tohono O’odham Tribe to launch floating casinos on their part of the new inland sea.

The Defense Department will convert part of the Goldwater Test Range in western Arizona into a submarine training base.

Fledermaus for President! At least he can speak without a teleprompter.

I think we should sue Mexico and take what is rightfully ours. Gadsden got drunk and messed up the straight line to the gulf. Instead he intersected much further north by Yuma. If he just trusted his GPS we would have a seaport.

Well done hoax, but they would have trolled more people if they had been more subtle. The SNAFU acronym was a dead giveaway.

OTOH, extending a canal from the Gulf of Cortez to California's Imperial Valley, to refill the Salton Sea, has possibilities. That might even happen without government action in the short run - see The Big One by Kevin Ready on Kindle here:

https://www.amazon.com/Big-One-Kevin-Ready-ebook/dp/B00ECYOGYG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1617294143&sr=1-1

It's a good read by itself. As an impractical matter, it's going to happen anyway, eventually, as coastal southern California slides north towards Alaska in twenty-foot jumps every hundred or so years. But the rip between the Imperial Valley and the Gulf of Cortez is happening right now, people can see this on the ground or from the air, and Mr. Ready is correct - a big one might make this happen overnight.

Just make it wide enough so the Ever Given can’t get all twisted around and block the canal. That would block the cigarette boats bringing drugs up from Ol’ Mejico.

Great fishing opportunities. The waterways will be stocked with poissons d'Avril.
