The Mexican Government just announced that it will pay a total of $30 Billion to the US government, earmarked to construct Trump's boarder wall on the United States southern border with Mexico.
The Mexicans will pay the $30 Billion in installments. It will send $1 to the United States Treasury every year for 30 Billion years, starting on October 1, 2018.

(1,633 posts)That will take 600 billion years.
According to Astrobiologists, habitable conditions on Earth will be possible for at least another 1.75 billion years.

Venus is the prime example.
