  Maybe reasons that moron is t the governor any longer
context: We just have to pray Mexico doesn’t invent the ladder… >
  
  But how would they get down! >
  
  They'd have to invent some sort of second ladder, but I don't know the math on how someone could pull something off like that. >
  
  Nothing says “this is a stunt we don’t plan to carry on forever” like building things out of something that is literally designed to be mobile. >
  
  I half jokingly said to someone watching PBS NewsHour coverage of this bullshit with me..
  'well... they went through all of the trouble and expense of getting the things there, they may as well convert them into places to live for people who are waiting to hear about their status'
  I know that's probably a bad idea in more way than I can count, but still.... It's not like we don't have the resources to help families who are genuinely fleeing a terrible situation - as witnessed by this just casual expenditure of god knows how many multiple Millions just to score political points with Cult45. >
  
  Shipping containers are like the worst base for even a temporary home. >
  
  Probably, but back when I had cable  I saw a really dope tiny house made out of a shipping container. It had a modern minimalist look and was made to maintain the storm proof integrity of the container. 
  It was made to let in lots of light and feel open, but everything cut away was kept and used just above or below the opening. With those pieces they made awnings and a porch on hinges that could swing them parallel to the home. So those cut away parts then functioned as metal storm doors/shutters for the glass doors and windows. 
  I thought that maybe that design was one that could be duplicated with less cash than many of the other houses featured on the show. >
  
  Some points get discussed here. >
  
  I’m sure the contractors hired for all this work aren’t related to anyone in that state government/s >
  
  And they paid fair price too. Just like them bus ride/plane tickets to the VP’s house at Christmas. Nothing shady at all. /s >
  
  The President of Mexico should hold a speech and be like “Mr. Biden, tear down that wall.” >
  
  I know! I liked it better when we were the ones saying that the wall needed to come down. >
  
  This whole wall theatre that conservatives are doing is costing us a lot of money. >
  
  It’s also horrifically destructive to the wildlife and environment in the area, animals can’t move as needed, pollinators are cut off, water tables get polluted because many of those containers have toxic remnants, roadways temporarily made to place them there destroys plant life and therefore habitats for all sorts of life, the list goes on and on. >
  
  Who gives a damn about the environment when there's brown people to punish /s >
  
  Congrats on the speaker of the house nomination! >
  
  And the 11th loss in a row! >
  
  The biggest loser >
  
  Are they going to pay the same contractors that put it up? Filling the governor's friends'pockets even more? >
  
  But of course! It’s the American Way! >
  
  Pretty please; could they temporarily move them to the ex-governors front yard, on the way to whenever they're going? >
  
  Are we about to have government surplus shipping containers? Because those things have gotten pricey and I REALLY want to build a shipping container cabin. >
  
  We now live in a world where living in a shipping container is bourgeoisie. >
  
  That's giving me such Fallout 3 Megaton vibes. >
  
  This would make me consider not disarming the nuke... >
  
  What VEEP said: it's as useless as using a croissant for a dildo - it does not do the job and leaves an incredible mess. >
  
  That's Josh for ya. >
  
  We still haven't really appreciated how monumentally stupid this is. 
  They're coming down because they are on land that the state of Arizona does not own. The governor of Arizona said, let's put shipping containers on someone else's land without their permission. And people went along with it. And the governor of Arizona isn't going to go to jail for it. It wasn't his land and he dropped a bunch of shipping containers on it. 
  If any of you own a house, imagine you wake up and someone is stacking shipping containers on your lawn. Then you find out the governor of Arizona used tax money to pay people to put them there. Realize that he has much legal right to put these on your driveway or the Scottsdale Top Golf as to put these on the border.
  Does he not understand how property law works? Does he not care? What does it mean that a state with 7 million people is governed by a person that either doesn't understand basic property law or doesn't feel like he needs to respect other people's property. It is something truly insane and I can't believe how innocously it gets discussed.
