We'll see if we can change their mind and route it through Maryland.

Everytime they come up with a way to "increase trade", it increases it for a dozan other countries.

By comparison, on an infinetessimally tinier scale, Sarasota, FL built a 5 lane highway down the middle of an Amish community, replacing a 2 lane country road. The Amish community was divided and broken irrevocably. Countless pedestrians and tricyclers from that community have been injured and killed. No effort was made to work with the community or find an alternative route.
Progress can be a mindless juggernaut, raping and plundering in its path.
