You say these decisions *should* be handled at the local level though.

2018-09-06 00:46:06 UTC  

If we pay attention to historical context of the 1st Amendment you could make an unconvincing argument that any gun law is unconstitutional. But laws restricting certain weapons are in theory not unreasonable.

2018-09-06 00:46:26 UTC  

This has nothing to do with today's QOTD

2018-09-06 00:46:26 UTC  

And that they should have the authority to do these sorts of projects.

2018-09-06 00:46:39 UTC  

Yes, Zexy

2018-09-06 00:46:49 UTC  

I would prefer if it was completely left to states

2018-09-06 00:47:08 UTC  

But some effects are unforeseeable, so I was asking what would happen?

2018-09-06 00:47:29 UTC  

If one community made a decision that affected several others?

2018-09-06 00:49:46 UTC  

If they can show that damages have taken place, they can sue them or settle some arrangement where the damages are fixed or paid for.

2018-09-06 00:51:00 UTC  

Who enforces that?

2018-09-06 00:51:19 UTC  

And who decides what a forest is worth?

2018-09-06 00:51:54 UTC  

Either a court or a private arbitrator of some kind

2018-09-06 00:51:58 UTC  

How do you gauge how much damage there is from losing a forest which provides food and resources for several communities?

2018-09-06 00:52:20 UTC  

A single tree can be considered priceless

2018-09-06 00:52:30 UTC  

And money will never bring those resources back

2018-09-06 00:52:31 UTC  

So

2018-09-06 00:52:44 UTC  

How do you mitigate this when money isn't enough?

2018-09-06 00:52:47 UTC  

This is why you could make a settlement where the other community provides the lost food source

2018-09-06 00:53:08 UTC  

So you would have a community starve its people?

2018-09-06 00:53:35 UTC  

What?

2018-09-06 00:54:06 UTC  

An industrial community isn't going to have much food

2018-09-06 00:54:20 UTC  

If that community didn't have enough for both, would you have one go hungry?

2018-09-06 00:55:05 UTC  

An "industrial community" as you are imagining it wouldn't choose to damage it's own food source.

2018-09-06 00:55:18 UTC  

It's not the food source to them

2018-09-06 00:55:26 UTC  

It's a good source for the others.

2018-09-06 00:55:27 UTC  

However, you can have food industry

2018-09-06 00:56:01 UTC  

That would be an agricultural community

2018-09-06 00:56:23 UTC  

I'm just asking how an issue like that would be solved under such a system.

2018-09-06 00:56:34 UTC  

No, I'm taking about industrialized farming

2018-09-06 00:56:35 UTC  

When money isn't enough.

2018-09-06 00:56:57 UTC  

Aaaaaand if the community were not that sort?

2018-09-06 00:57:19 UTC  

They have food for their people, but not enough for two communities

2018-09-06 00:57:33 UTC  

There is no "money isn't enough"

2018-09-06 00:57:34 UTC  

Much less several.

2018-09-06 00:57:40 UTC  

Hahahahahaha

2018-09-06 00:57:44 UTC  

HAHAHAHAHAHA

2018-09-06 00:58:08 UTC  

Alright. I'll just stop here.

2018-09-06 00:58:24 UTC  

Money isn't enough to replace lives lost, and that's about it

2018-09-06 00:58:29 UTC  

If you actually believe that.

2018-09-06 00:58:40 UTC  

There is no point to talking to you.

2018-09-06 00:58:51 UTC  

You haven't given an example where money wasn't enough
