Plans were announced today to dig a 245-mile long canal from the northern Gulf of California into southwestern Arizona to flood the region with sea water creating new economic opportunities and beach-front housing across thousands of square miles of mostly uninhabited desert. The City of Phoenix could become one of Americaâs busiest seaports under the plan.
Check the date.
And the fact that Phoenix is more than 1000 ft. above sea level.
Must be April 1.
What day is today, again?
I am thinking of that country song with the lyrics about oceanfront property in Arizona.
April Fool’s Day joke?
Pretty funny Babylon Bee stuff, anyway, they forgot to say they expect it to take 3 lightyears to get environmental approvals.
They can't or won't stop the flood of illegals into Arizona, what happens when they can't stop the water from flooding Arizona?
Furthermore, do they really know the geology they have to cross?
Not a well thought-out idea.
Sounds expensive.
Another area for possible similar project would be in Western Egypt in the Qattara Depression. That would make more water available to help reclaim the sahara desert and open up northern africa for trade.
What happens to Tucson? Save Old Tucson from the floods!
Hopefully it will be fertile for Biden's Money Trees.
The Leftists have gotten so whacked, that satire like this and at Babylon Bee are getting closer to the truth than absurdity.
Part of the infrastructure waste. Getting bad when it is hard to tell the difference in just another democrap cluster fluck and an April Fool’s spoof.

I guess that canal is gonna be like Grand Canyon 2.0 Lots of union construction jobs, LOL.
Joe's Infrastructure!
Man, this is not a joke I have proposed a mile-wide, sea level canal from Brownsville, Texas, following the Rio Grand River and the US border, all the way to Chula Vista, California. The cut would be nearly a mile deep in places, of course, but with the development of anti-gravity sleds and laser cutting beams, dumping the spoils from this earth movement into a specified site in the Gulf of Mexico, essentially building a new island on the sea floor up to the surface, and making El Paso, Texas into a major seaport by carving out a huge basin there.
