I would think Trump should easily get approval for 900 miles of wall, then. It's dirt cheap!laklak wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:16 pmState of North Carolina? FEMA? Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce?
How could it be too expensive, anyway? I mean, why not do the same thing the Dutch did to their 1,914 km of coastline to the U.S's 133,312 km? I blame Republicans. If they'd just Tax the Rich we could all be living the good life, safe behind our dikes.
North and South Carolina only have 10,000 total miles of coastline, and together they're only 5 times the size of the Netherlands, with 2,000,000 fewer people to pay for it, I'm sure there are no practicalities that need to be considered. They're just idiots.

Roof tiling is the trade to be in up in these latitudes. The winters have got windier without doubt and roof tiles get blown off regularly. You can't get a tiler for love nor money the week after a good blow...er..Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:42 pmIt is a good time to at least know how to hang dry wall. If I wasn't so lazy I'd have been on it after Harvey too.

Dykes provide excellent shelter. They're usually big and strong, and their overalls are almost bullet proof...laklak wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:16 pmState of North Carolina? FEMA? Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce?
