true

@Fitzydog sounds lovely

Holy fuck who would willingly move to ND

lol

i would give it a try

Meth users looking for cheap houses move to North Dakota

i bet

The only place that’s awful that I would consider moving to is Alaska

They pay you like $2k a year to live there

Lived there for 3 years.

Best fucking place on earth.

sunshine 24/7 for months

it would drive me crazy

My grandmother has a house in Detroit, so that's the only third-world shithole I'd ever have to go to

stayed there for a month in 2006 and it actually wasn't too bad

never been to detroit

Since everyone in the state gets dividend money from the state’s oil company.

Or something like that

which will diminish over time @Christopher

it would

then they will have to find alternatives

and they certainly wont be giving dividends that time, I bet

lol

The Alaska state constitution stipulates that all natural resources are state porperty, and any extraction of it has to be compensated.

so if you catch rainwater on your property, since it's a natural resource, it's not yours and you have to pay the government for it?

No, because there's no desert in Alaska

or if you have solar panels on your house?

Pretty sure that’s not allowed. The federal law is that your private property extends to the center of the Earth and infinitely upward.

Negative

You might not own the mineral rights

So no sale of property in Alaska is fee-simple?

I have trouble believing that.

Alaska sounds fucked

But if it’s true, FUCK THAT

Mineral rights are very complicated, even in your state

some laws have it seperated from land use

Anyways, all of this is overly complicated wordiness. It's essentially a corporate tax on oil and timber sales

They aren’t too complicated, though. You can sell the mineral rights to your property but keep the land itself and stuff like that, but in Cali, at least we have fee-simple property, meaning we have absolute right to it to the center of the Earth and infinitely upward.

ya

What's more fucked are the Native Corporations.

What’s a Native Corporation?

Instead of a tribe with a reservation of land, there are 13 corporations formed from the tribal membership/geneology, and the people are 'employees' who take advangtage of the affirmative action laws on US military and gov't contracts
