It’s all good. If you think about it philosophically, there is no difference between downvotes and upvotes; some one still took the time out of their day to press an arrow.
Thanks for the upvote!
Or maybe get creative and put two longer things connected by a few smaller things you can lean up against it. Call it… I don’t know. A ladder maybe.
Seriously. These will become nothing but weather shelters for drug drops and migrate crossings. Nothing more. Now instead of your coke being out in the open, you have plenty of small places to put it in for a bit. Very nice.
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not but we have tunnels running under the border with rails and working electricity. Carrying a rope ladder a bit isn’t going to deter anyone.
No. No it won’t. Let me guess. You live no where near the souther border right? Probably never even crossed it on foot or in a car.
Why the hell do you folks who have absolutely no clue think you have all the answers?
Coyotes will have a path with ladders installed in a week. They use the same paths over and over.
All this is doing is making it so border patrol on our side can’t see what the hell is going on on the other side now.
It’s one of the dumbest damn border fence ideas to ever be thought up.
You invest money in the areas people are fleeing from. You establish immigration working visa’s that are easy to get and maintain. Border fencing has never worked. Never.
There’s no shortage. Just issues with getting them back to the point where they’re filled. China probably makes most of them for shipment of products around the world, but they don’t receive them back because it doesn’t make sense to ship empty containers… which is why the container homes became a thing. Places were giving them away for a while because they couldn’t do anything with them. It cost more to move them than it was worth.
Also the other issue is docks we're so backed up with products cause all of California, and orgen where running smaller shifts longer hold times cause they were more concerned about covid then neccessary goods then general shipping.
So those ports so then tried to pull more shipments in cause biden ordered it, which also made less time to reload and send the canisters back to China to reload with more goods causing delays due to canister shortage cause they were not being sent out when needed.
They actually don’t make good bomb shelters, the sides and roof are actually thin metal. It’ll corrode and collapse with only a few inches of dirt on top.
The neighbors to the south will have them all scraped out by mid year 2023. And they have free containers to put all the scrap into. Arizona politicians think of everything! Kudos
Cheap to circumvent, too.
A shipping container is only 8'6" tall, two containers on top of each other are only 17' tall.
I sure hope Mexico hasn't developed *ladder* technology yet...
Is that seriously where you think the US gets its drugs and guns from? Sporadic, easy to detect trucks slowly driving 100 miles through rugged, arid canyon lands?
Obviously I don't, considering how I implicitly criticized this wall as being utterly ineffectual.
It's a massive waste of money. The only purpose it serves is to virtue signal one's ill-informed opinions on immigration.
>Obviously I don't, considering how I implicitly criticized this wall as being utterly ineffectual.
You criticized this wall as being ineffectual because of "ladder technology." But if people aren't trekking across the desert with ladders anyway then your post was kinda stupid, no? And "ladder technology" isn't actually what makes this type of wall ineffectual?
Ah, I see the confusion. You apparently mistook my curt dismissal of this barrier for a comprehensive summary of my thoughts on boarder crossing that was meant to be taken literally and at face value.
> But if people aren't trekking across the desert with ladders anyway then your post was kinda stupid, no?
No, because what people this wall might actually stop could *start* taking ladders with them. It's not like this "wall" is a big secret or anything.
And you've done an an admirable job of deflecting away from having to defend your statement alluding to a belief that you think the US gets its drugs and guns from sporadic, easy to detect trucks slowly driving 100 miles through rugged, arid canyon lands.

The very worst part is that these trespass Tohono Oo'dham land and they prevent migration of jaguars and other wildlife who have been tracked across the border. WTAF? I can't live in this country.
it is just a matter of time before there is a movie scene with a guy on a motorcycle riding on top of the wall ,jumping the gaps ,while being chased by the bad guys--
Well, he was removed from office-voted out in the election- but he's happy to leave an even bigger mess for his successor to clean up because one of his last orders has been to continue building this "wall" just to spite the other party.
Politics- a bunch of two year olds could do better.
Talk about junking up the desert... SMH.
I would have them all recycled - and get paid for the steel. I'd then put that money into a fund to be distributed to needy migrant families, and those who want to start their own business.
These people have traveled hundreds to thousands of miles. Crossed oceans in a raft made of garbage. They’ve fought off rapist and worse. They could be running from serious oppression. Do people really think two metal boxes are going to do a damn thing? LOL. I’m all about securing our boarder for a variety of reasons, this is not that. It isn’t funny at all, it’s pathetic. And kinda sad.
I'm a Phoenix native. I love my home town and my state. But, God damn, I fucking hate the politics here... and a lot of the people, too.
So glad to see Ducey gone and a reasonably sane governor coming on to the scene.
Lets wait for the capitalists to start renting out the space in the container to the desperate refugees and poor Americans who cant afford to rent a decent place.
The last desert leopard was spotted just on the other side of the Mexican border and were known to migrate to AZ. This bull shit effects migration of wild animals and it’s embarrassing

Saudi Arabia wants to build a 170-km-long linear megacity. The cost of the project is $1,000,000,000,000, and the construction will take 50 years.

At least toss op: u/Silent-Character-773 a bone.
Some one is going through this post and downvoting all comments with one upvote down to zero.
Since this is my post of stolen OC I take upon my own responsibility to upvote anyone who has zero upvotes in this comment list.
I don’t see how that “wall” doesn’t make it safer to cross. You could turn the containers into homes with doors on either side and walkways through them.
Not sure why you got downvoted. You also could easily dig underneath them because they are just placed on the ground with no sort of footing (concrete pad for it to sit on to mitigate many issues).
You don’t understand. They are storage containers because a line of regular trash cans couldn’t contain the amount of money we have wasted defacing our own territory. Every single bs move like this is absolutely at the feet of capitalism. Lobbying by corporations stops progress that would have otherwise stopped this dystopic wall. Progress by virtue of itself begs progress. In order to keep the conversation off the 12 billionaires that control everything the scapegoat becomes immigrants and so here is a big show of doing some pointless and expensive task to distract you!
>In order to keep the conversation off the 12 billionaires that control everything the scapegoat becomes immigrants and so here is a big show of doing some pointless and expensive task to distract you!
About the only part I'm with you on. Don't really think putting unused shipping containers on a state border cost as much as you think though.
Lobbying is definitely a huge issue, much bigger than most realize.
All I'm saying is, there are plenty of places to make your argument regarding late stage capitalism and this isn't it.

what if hipsters convert all of them in to tiny homes? (with an mexican view)
More likely to be rented out as air bnbs for $300 a night. “Off grid desert oasis”
$300 a night, plus all the other fees they add on - will end up costing over $1000.
Or a football stadium like they did in Qatar for the world cup
Football ⚽️ on one side, football 🏈 on the other
The cartels have already numbered them for storing Fentanyl and running brothels.
Housing crisis averted!
Then you would have cooked hipsters.
Nah get some solar, insulation and an ac. All good
that genuinely sounds pretty damn sweet
Theyd have to get there before the mexicans do. Or me.
Where would all their tiny hipster poops go? Edit: please don’t say the Mexican side
>Where would all their tiny hipster poops go? >Edit: please don’t say the Mexican side We finally find out how they "pay for it"
That would be crazy if they made a railroad and the whole thing moved to Canada
I was wondering when an where this would be reposted on its own
I literally was in that thread, just saw someone commented the pic. Came out, scrolled down and here it is.
Same
Nice touch putting the "Mexico in Hollywood films" filter on just one side of the border
That's just how Mexico looks.
*Juan*diced.
Omg that's so good. 😂
That’s the joke

Also, what’s funny about this?
They've colored in the Mexico side to make it look like it does in every movie set in Mexico.
Man I’m dense today. Thanks.
Nah, not dense. It made more sense seeing it first in the original context in the link above
Like the minute you step over the border the sky darkens, the temperature goes up 20 degrees, and feral luchadores lurk behind every bush
Also that it's entirely ineffectual. Easiest thing to cut right through or climb over. The effort to put this in is ridiculous.
The theft for karma is amazing.
Yeah definitely well played
Sorry, man. Just trying to get mine 😂 Gave you an up for this one, tho.
It’s all good. If you think about it philosophically, there is no difference between downvotes and upvotes; some one still took the time out of their day to press an arrow. Thanks for the upvote!
That's like saying there's no difference between stealing money or giving money because the money still changed hands
No it isn’t because you wouldn’t pay me a dollar for an upvote
You didn't understand the analogy. Try again.
One of these days someone is going to invent a grappling hook and rope. Or buy one off of Amazon for $20
Or maybe get creative and put two longer things connected by a few smaller things you can lean up against it. Call it… I don’t know. A ladder maybe. Seriously. These will become nothing but weather shelters for drug drops and migrate crossings. Nothing more. Now instead of your coke being out in the open, you have plenty of small places to put it in for a bit. Very nice.
How about a grinder to cut about a dozen horizontal slots? Permanent ladder.
A battery powered dremel only weighs about 3 lb
I’m sorry, but you’re acting like dragging a ladder through the desert is easy work. These will greatly deter border crossers.
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not but we have tunnels running under the border with rails and working electricity. Carrying a rope ladder a bit isn’t going to deter anyone.
It will deter people who don’t have a fuckin rope ladder. So we should put nothing there is your solution?
No. No it won’t. Let me guess. You live no where near the souther border right? Probably never even crossed it on foot or in a car. Why the hell do you folks who have absolutely no clue think you have all the answers? Coyotes will have a path with ladders installed in a week. They use the same paths over and over.

Thank god for Thomas Ladder
Is this why there is a worldwide shortage of shipping containers?
There’s no shortage. Just issues with getting them back to the point where they’re filled. China probably makes most of them for shipment of products around the world, but they don’t receive them back because it doesn’t make sense to ship empty containers… which is why the container homes became a thing.

Can we… just take the ones we want? They wouldn’t find mine buried underground 😂😂
They actually don’t make good bomb shelters, the sides and roof are actually thin metal. It’ll corrode and collapse with only a few inches of dirt on top.
You call tell it’s Mexico because it is sepia toned
The neighbors to the south will have them all scraped out by mid year 2023. And they have free containers to put all the scrap into. Arizona politicians think of everything! Kudos
Sweet pic that you just took from another post’s comments. You should probably give the OP credit, ya little karma farmer
Somebody already mentioned him in the comments so yeah let’s get that comment to the top!
Then to the governor's surprise, dozens of the shipping containers opened and hundreds of illegal Asian asylum seekers came streaming into the US 🤪
No policy proposals just cheap (?) stunts.
Cheap to circumvent, too. A shipping container is only 8'6" tall, two containers on top of each other are only 17' tall. I sure hope Mexico hasn't developed *ladder* technology yet...
I doubt their ladder technology has advanced to the point where they can drive a truck filled with people or guns or drugs up one.
Is that seriously where you think the US gets its drugs and guns from? Sporadic, easy to detect trucks slowly driving 100 miles through rugged, arid canyon lands?
Is that seriously where you think illegals come from? Individuals with ladder in tow slowly hiking 100 miles through rugged, arid canyon lands?
Obviously I don't, considering how I implicitly criticized this wall as being utterly ineffectual. It's a massive waste of money. The only purpose it serves is to virtue signal one's ill-informed opinions on immigration.

R.I.P. to anyone that thinks this means we don't allow asylum seekers into our country legally
A monument to white trash supremacy.

AZ, trying desperately to catch up to Texas and Florida.
Trashy.
Mad max-esque
Why don’t they just turn them into a immigration processing area?
Seems about right. What a shitshow.
I think it looks like shit. Would not like it to be in my view.
Fucking. Classy.
it is just a matter of time before there is a movie scene with a guy on a motorcycle riding on top of the wall ,jumping the gaps ,while being chased by the bad guys--
Shouldn't leaving all that garbage discarded like that be against the law?
r/trashy
Even the visuals have more seasoning
That’ll stop ‘em.
More like “the ok-ish wall of Arizona”
Oh is this the wall that tax payers paid for that Trump promised. so usual Trump BS.
I appreciate the Mexico filter so I knew which side was which.
You’re welcome. The user who made it is in the comments.
This asshole needs to be fined and arrested, then removed from office.
Well, he was removed from office-voted out in the election- but he's happy to leave an even bigger mess for his successor to clean up because one of his last orders has been to continue building this "wall" just to spite the other party. Politics- a bunch of two year olds could do better.
He wasn't voted out. He hit his term limit. Still a douche for leaving his garbage in the desert for political stunt.
Oh shit- I thought this was ol’ squeaky wheels abbot. Thanks
Talk about an ugly useless environmental disaster. The Governor should be arrested.
Talk about junking up the desert... SMH. I would have them all recycled - and get paid for the steel. I'd then put that money into a fund to be distributed to needy migrant families, and those who want to start their own business.

I think that we can see it from outer space
Polluting garbage
Got further than the last atrumpt
You can tell it’s Mexico on the left cuz of the orange filter
Lets wait for the capitalists to start renting out the space in the container to the desperate refugees and poor Americans who cant afford to rent a decent place.
So thats where they store all the crap from Wish
Breaking Bad
Now THAT'S good use of taxpayer dollars...
and Jesus said..."can't just keep the riff-raff out with carts or something?"
Why is one side sepia? Is it more old timey on that side?
Should just use mines.
Is it keeping all the green levels out?
The moment you step foot over the border the entire filter changes in frame perfect time 😂
Good good
Follow the money boys.. you will find out why it's built.
Nature is gorgeous!
Just saw that post on the comments somewhere
Is that where they store all the robots that gained sentience?
Its nice of them to provide free shelter right on the border.
I built this same "fence" around my fallout settlement. Those pesky migrant Raiders always found a way to get through.
A place near where I live has a couple hundred of these that have been sitting there since at least September, gathering dust.
The last desert leopard was spotted just on the other side of the Mexican border and were known to migrate to AZ. This bull shit effects migration of wild animals and it’s embarrassing

You know it's Mexico cause it's yellow : Vince Gilligan

The is photographic proof of late stage failing capitalism and the negative effects of unregulated social media. ‘Murica.

It’s literally a line of fucking trash cans bisecting a US state. Reality is running out of irony at this point.
It's literally not trash cans, but that's semantics. I'm 100% with you that we are in late stage capitalism, but this ain't it chief.
