Georgias are very territorial. The world is better off if they don't have to battle.

I like how this implies that the hole would bore through half the size of both Georgias.

I hear this complaint all the time and you people just don't get it. The existing inter-georgian transportation network employs hundreds of thousands of people, and you want to just put them all out of work?

Non-georgians just don't understand that a 34 hour commute is very normal and just fine and we don't need your fancy "tunnel" to shorten it.

Look at the Cross-Carolinian Expressway (CCE) that was initiated last year. It won't be done until 2177 but it will shorten the trip from North Carolina to South Carolina to a mere 17 hours. Until then, they still go around the horn of Africa to make that trip, seeing 77% of the known world. Pretty soon none of those Carolinian kids will know the feel of the sea air on their skin.

And yeah, obviously the Inter-Georgian Tunnel would be a feat of engineering on the level of the Bama Skyway, connecting Alabama and Myanmar (look it up), or the Alexandria Rail Network which connects every city on earth named Alexandria. But any real engineer will tell you that engineering for the sake of engineering isn't engineering at all.

But you guys can post your propaganda all you want. We all know that the Anti Absurdist Infrastructure Association (AAIA) has been emboldened by their recent "success" against the Des Moines Highway (connecting Des Moines, Iowa with Des Moines, Iowa, the long way around) and shutting down the Moonshot Committee, who had well over 17 plans in the works for roads to the moon in progress with municipalities all over there country, until AAIA got wind of it.

Good luck.

Connecting the Georgias would unleash a power the world is not ready to experience.

It's like shorting negative and positive on a car battery; you don't do it unless you really want to see some real damage.
