if i mess up my math please do say. its likely cause i have a bad headache right now and my logical thought process is a little forgetedif the wall was 90 yards tall and two feet deep this is what it would cost for the concrete requiredCode: [Select]height = 30 yardslength = 3500640 yards (length of us/mexican border)depth = 2 feet divided by 1 yard (aka 3 feet)height*length*depth = volume of the entire wall in cubic yardsmultiply the volume by $80 (1 cubic yard of concrete costs $80) and you get $5,601,024,000 (5 billion. i probably forgeted up my first calculation that i replied to magus with somehow). the depth seems too small though so lets assume that the depth would be 10 feet (3 1/3 yards)ok lets assume the depth is 10 feet (3 1/3 yards) nowCode: [Select]height = 30 yardslength = 3500640 yards (length of us/mexican border)depth = 3 1/3 yardsrun that through the equation again and you get $28,005,120,000 (28 billion) for the concrete cost alone. this is a rough estimate but i would assume that the entire wall would be $100 billion+ with all the other materials and man labor combined. $100 billion+ for a wall that might be entirely useless (remember the drug dealers are good at tunnels and will probably find different ways into the country) seems a little dumbalso remember people will still smuggle in stuff through boats, we can't build a wall out at sea. a wall won't fix problems it'll just move the problems elsewhere.
height = 30 yardslength = 3500640 yards (length of us/mexican border)depth = 2 feet divided by 1 yard (aka 3 feet)
height = 30 yardslength = 3500640 yards (length of us/mexican border)depth = 3 1/3 yards
i admire your dedication
I hope he doesn't vote Annoying Orange
If Berlin got away with the wall then surely Annoying Orange will.
Just as a comparison, the Berlin wall was 96 miles long and ridiculously difficult to maintain. The total length of the US-Mexican border is about 1933 miles.
The great wall of china was 2.5 times that length and it did its job.
We don't have to worry because guess who is paying it?
they said to forget off, why would they pay for it anyways
(hes implying Annoying Orange is paying for it)
