other than that our subisities are fucked up
realistically, you want your rep to ask for money to go to good causes, instead of bridges to nowhere
but do you want a rep who doesnt bring home ANY new jobs or money, or ones that bring home some jobs and money
the first one is a bad husband, divorce him
I feel like our country is just too big, nobody cares any more, they just want a slice of the money
well, yeah, but thats human history
dunbar's number is a thing
perhaps if states had greater control this would be less of a problem
instead of the federal governemnt taking the money and then giving it back in such a messy process
my people tried that idea a while back
:dixie:
i think that the small government conservative states rights folks definitely have it closer to correct than the alternatives, but no system is perfect
no system is immune from bad constituents I guess
its incredibly hard to vote with your feet these days though, and that is one of the appeals of states rights
dont like what the state's doing? move to one that better aligns with your views
but man thats an expensive suggestion
but moving away from the federal government is alot harder
yeah, sort of
this has been extremely informative so far
If anyone could help find a good data base for phyto related articles or plant filtering systems
For those interested in homesteading, I recommend researching hydroponics and/or verticle farming
could be a useful supplement to your homestead stategy
I HIGHLY recommend reading "teaming with microbes" by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis
It will completely change the way you look at soil and the life within it
Not as hard as you may think. Buy up land, divide it into smaller parcels, build houses, sell them to a few dozen of our own, bring in more people and build some facilities, set up a council, hold a vote to incorporate into a single town, become a town.
An unincorporated community gets its services from the county without paying municipal taxes, so frivolous town-founding can be a bad idea. Why might you want to incorporate? First, you could be heading off annexation by a nearby city. The residents of what is now DISH, Texas were afraid of being annexed by Fort Worth. If their land had become part of the city, they'd have faced the high property taxes used to cover social services in less affluent areas. Second, unincorporated communities have very little control over what gets built in the area. But towns can control their own zoning—and thereby protect their property values.
Essentially, building a town from scratch = total freedom
The hardest part will be getting around a hundred or so people to justify incorporating as a town. We can start with what we have and grow from there.
Just throwing a proposal out there, since our plan is always evolving --
1.) Buy up a large property far enough for noninterference of existing towns but close enough to use their hospitals and other facilities if needed.
2.) Divide the property into several smaller parcels, some residential and on which build cheap housing that can be upgraded later.
3.) Found a church which can apply for tax exemptions and later run the community school and even a clinic in time, and also handle tax exempt donation collection.
4.) Build a general store to which a member of the community can make runs from nearby towns to bring in supplies as needed.
5.) Establish a manufactury/agricultural/lumber/etc facility to provide an income for the community via exports and also to create jobs for our settlers. Establish community plots for growing additional subsistence crops.
6.) Expand the housing plots until we have around a hundred people.
7.) Build an office or beer hall or whatever to be the community meeting place and hold an incorporation vote.
Just like that we have an ethno-community that we completely control with no pesky liberals or minorities. No one can move in because we won't put our property for sale or build new housing until we have more of our own like minded people coming in. We have an entire homogenous town in which we can raise white nationalist families and vote to implement whatever policies we like. We can fly our own freaking flag from town hall, host nationalist conferences, and open a third reich museum if we feel like it. The sky is the limit and nothing here is far fetched. Just something to think about. We can honestly do this.
