People actually thought he was going to have a physical wall built? I always figured that was just some stupid thing he liked to say to get a rise out of the public.

@KeeperOfShadows

Months ago they spent between $2.4 - $4 MILLION (not cents, not hundreds, not thousands, but MILLIONS) on wall prototypes.... it was going to be a real thing before reality hit that a full fledged wall would cost well over into the billions (about $22 billion..... something they can't spare).

So why did we spend all those millions of dollars on the prototypes?

SSSHHHHH.
QUIET.
They are trying to sweep that info under the rug and hope everyone forgets.
Don't say nothin!!!

oh....
yeah... gotta keep quiet about that $2.4 - $4 million spent on those wall prototypes (money that could have been spent on schools, the homeless, etc, etc) and hope everyone forgets about those.... especially when it's time for Trumps re-election a few years from now.

Fucking crazy...

I don't follow politics much, and always just handwaved the whole wall statement because it just sounds too moronic to take seriously.

They spent around $2.4 to $4 million on wall prototypes?
What the fuck? Why the fuck would they do that and why the fuck do those prototypes cost that fucking much????

"Each one will be 18 to 30 feet tall and take a month to complete and in total will cost taxpayers anywhere between $2.4 million and $4 million."

What.....
What the fuck!!!!

That much in TAXPAYER money.... well, damn....

Neither. We can't know what would have happened instead that might have been worse.

Weird and horrible shit tends to happen when you mess with the space time continuum. Vicious butterfly effect bullshit will happen 9 times out of 10. What if (and I am pulling a sci-fi scenario out of my ass, but what if....) taking out Hitler means World War 2 never happens and that results in vicious space aliens invading Earth? Because of World War 2, the space aliens got scared off because of all the crazy shit they saw, but because they saw world peace instead because Hitler was never born and World War 2 never happened, they saw that as an opportunity to invade, resulting in A LOT of people dying during what became the Universal War of the 40's.

The aliens were defeated, but 70% of the human population were slaughtered (wiping out most of us here on Gamefaqs since we were never born) and civilization, technology and medicine was set back by 500 years (forget stuff like the internet or cell phones, we don't even have toilets anymore).
Yeah, it's a sci-fi scenario, BUT the point here is that when you mess with time travel, LOTS of fucked up shit can happen.
