    I expect that to be accurate. A blend of physical and virtual, serving to create the desired out come.

    I think we'll start to see private insurance coops start to pop up.....gated community health care programs....gated community clinics If small business folk all have this problem, collectively maybe there's an alternative ....it's Sunday...I need a power nap.....I think it's always best to be amused around here

    The agenda for his first 100 days includes the wall. Biggest estimate to build it is $25B.

    It is what it is...

    There are lots of ways to make them pay. It remains to be seen how.

    A tarrif on imports from Mexico might be enough.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-trump-election-is-not-legitimate-poll-finds/

    The Post-ABC poll finds 74 percent of all Americans say they accept the election of Trump as legitimate while 18 percent do not. That result parallels a Post-ABC Tracking Poll just before the election, which found 79 percent of likely voters saying they were prepared to accept the outcome of the election regardless of who they support.

    A 58 percent majority of Clinton supporters say they accept Trump’s election, while 33 percent do not. Questions about Trump’s victory are passionate — 27 percent of Clinton supporters feel “strongly” he did not win legitimately.

    The railroad did that on a massive scale making the push west...I knew a rancher with thousands of acres that had to allow the railroad to run track on his property about 100 yards from his front door....the border is pretty much a tumbleweed rock pile so I'd think the biggest effect would be on watersheds

    I'm a strong proponent of making the wall a giant laser beam that if touched will disintegrate you lol

    When price goes up, demand goes down.

    They'll have to lower prices to maintain demand.

    I am in no way in favor of this kind of trade war. But it is a way, oneof many, to make Mexico pay for the wall.

    I agree with that. Just mentioning I read an article in which he might use Tariffs as a negotiating tool with China and Mexico.
