nice

2017-09-25 00:46:48 UTC  

We are building a "colony" within the contiguous US, therefore we are still subject to US law. We won't be able to "export" booze without jumping through the same hoops everyone does.

2017-09-25 00:47:06 UTC  

Which is a non-starter.

2017-09-25 00:47:11 UTC  

Is it legal?

2017-09-25 00:47:15 UTC  

*i hiss at modern society*

2017-09-25 00:47:23 UTC  

Is what legal?

2017-09-25 00:47:33 UTC  

Making alcohol?

2017-09-25 00:47:40 UTC  

Forming a country inside the united states.

2017-09-25 00:47:51 UTC  

it won't be a country

2017-09-25 00:47:54 UTC  

How are we gonna pay taxes and buy tools if we don't sell our goods. We don't need to be flashy, but we do need a source of income for expansion. If we're near a large city farmers markets can make us tons of money.

2017-09-25 00:47:56 UTC  

I said colony, not country.

2017-09-25 00:47:58 UTC  

just a town built by people together

2017-09-25 00:48:12 UTC  

Ahhh

2017-09-25 00:48:13 UTC  

So, kinda like the hutterites?

2017-09-25 00:48:28 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2017-09-25 00:49:24 UTC  

@spudman I see us more like the mennonites. They still use some modern tecnology and are more lax on religion.

We aren't isolationist economically, many of us will likely have jobs in the general population. And there will of course be things that we must buy outside as well.

2017-09-25 00:50:09 UTC  

i think if industry is on the table we should produce products from the land with the help of some machines / methods of procesing

2017-09-25 00:50:51 UTC  

maybe

2017-09-25 00:54:55 UTC  

We'll want all skillsets, blue and white collar. Especially those in finance. Agriculture doesn't make money anymore unless it's huge in scale.

2017-09-25 00:55:10 UTC  

It's great for self sustenance though.

2017-09-25 00:55:52 UTC  

well since i'm going into carpentry

2017-09-25 00:55:56 UTC  

we could sell like

2017-09-25 00:55:58 UTC  

tables n shit

2017-09-25 00:56:13 UTC  

cool ass wooden statues

2017-09-25 00:56:16 UTC  

all kinds of stuff

2017-09-25 00:56:21 UTC  

Trade skills are especially useful.

2017-09-25 00:56:54 UTC  

@Rin People at the farmers market in my city sell organic hierloom tomatoes for $4.00 a pound. Agriculture prices depend on where you are in the nation.

2017-09-25 00:57:14 UTC  

Yes, people do buy them.

2017-09-25 00:58:35 UTC  

organic foods are very good profit, especially if you become a well known regional brand

2017-09-25 00:59:35 UTC  

@dmac100 And how many pounds do you think you can produce?

2017-09-25 01:00:34 UTC  

5000 pounds?

2017-09-25 01:00:46 UTC  

Hell, 50,000 pounds?

2017-09-25 01:01:12 UTC  

Thats 200k a season, IF you sell everyone and lose none to disease.

2017-09-25 01:01:52 UTC  

That's enough for maybe 3 families per year if they are stretching it.

2017-09-25 01:01:53 UTC  

It would depend on the amount and quality of land I have. The real money is in growing things people have never heard of, like this https://www.starkbros.com/products/berry-plants/kiwi-berry-vines/anna-hardy-kiwi

2017-09-25 01:02:48 UTC  

Compare that to the average wall street income, it's litterally nothing.
