If I go to Hormuz with some digging equipment and dig a channel trough Dubai, will I have solved the oil crisis?

It's all sand afterall, ain't it?

Er, no. A good deal of it is challenging mountainous terrain. Sorry to disappoint you.

Rocks are compressed sand, so we relax them a bit. Let them decompress, then dig them away.

Sounds like a flawless plan. Should only take a few million years for the mountains to "decompress"... 😊

Now, Who said I am in hurry....

What if you connected the Great Lakes, Pacific, Atlantic, and Rio Grande all together? That would also solve the issue.

Colorado, New Mexico, Mexico, and Texas

All of the 4 do not belong to the USA.

My brother teaches Spanish. He knows probably. I don't.

The one between the areas currently controlled by Mexico and USA. If you connect it to the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Lakes… you know, Hormuz stops being a problem.

What are you saying ?? Trump's commissioned the Pentagon bomber fleets for that sand ⏳, and you intend to solve the oil crisis simply with your digging equipment ??🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I have a shovel, a very good one. In fact, I know more about shovels than anybody else .
