Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you will know that US President Donald Trump has set in motion his grand plan to build an 'impenetrable' border wall between the USA and Mexico. While Mr Trump asserts that the wall will cost around $10 billion, experts put the estimate closer to a whopping $21 billion. This decision to build a barrier has met with huge backlash not just from Mexico, but also from US citizens, and understandably so, given that taxpayers will have to foot the huge bill for the construction.
A recent Reddit thread asked Redditors to suggest better uses for $21 billion, and true to reputation, users came up with answers that will make you laugh, and then think. Ranging from witty to thoughtful to downright hilarious, these answers are a must-read. See for yourself:
