Got into a discussion at work about the proposed wall. Typical liberal complaints that building a wall is “impossible” and would take very long to complete, undermining it’s effectiveness.
I said well, we need about 1000 miles of wall. Would you say a team of 100 workers could build a one mile wall in three months?
“Yes, probably! But we need 1,000 miles of wall! That will take 3,000 months!”
I said ok. If one team of 100 can build 1 mile of wall in three months, 100 teams can build 100 miles of wall in about 3 months. And 1,000 teams can build 1,000 miles of wall in three months. Now, there are logistical issues, planning, etc. I’m no expert. But even quaduple the time needed - we can build 1,000 miles of wall in 12 months, nowhere near 3,000 months.
This upset her greatly.
To her (and many I am sure), building a 1,000 mile wall means you start at one end and build until you get to the other end.
Linear, limited thinking. A graduate of one of our most prestigious law schools. Nobody said they taught creativity and imagination at our finest schools.

Way to go Ted. “limited, linear thinking”...I like that.
Let’s see...
BP hired, fed, housed, supplied, trained, and managed 46,000 people, within about a month, in response to the Deepwater Horizon.
46,000 divided by 100 = 460 teams of 100....
I think BP spent about $14 billion on the response.
I guess Trump could hire BP to build 1,000 miles of wall in about 6 months.
