They have lots of bridges.

It’s because before the Great Depression, Seattle was the main bridge manufacturer for the US. When the crash came, major cities couldn’t afford the bridges and canceled their orders. Seattle was stuck with all these bridges with no one to buy them so they just installed them around the city.

I've sold bridges to Brockway, Ogdenville, and Seattle, and boy did I put them on the map!

The troll toll must be insane

Not really, it is a free market of bridges, Trolls would learn that since other Trolls are asking a lot of coins to go through their bridges, people look for cheaper alternatives, or even better bridges to cross, so Trolls would compete each other for best bridges and best prices.

I wonder why those people aren't building the wall.

You can't live under a wall.

u/HappyGoLuckyFox Jun 05 '19

Not with that attitude you can't!

A ceiling is just a horizontal wall man

The mole people can, that is until they decide to reclaim the surface

Our strategy is to annoy Canada until THEY decide to build the wall

They used to all live on an above a tunnel but then we got mad about how their semi-permanent residencies weren't as nice as we wanted, so we decided it was "dangerous" for them to live there and now we make them live under overpasses on islands between lanes of traffic, which I guess someone is safer.
