They should just gas everyone in the government and start over

2019-06-17 00:04:57 UTC  

Educate Cujo on how a land based economy where you are restricted from land ownership is the greatest modern injustice against the liberties of men.

2019-06-17 00:06:24 UTC  

Speaking of that, what the fuck happened to owning land in the US, like back at the start of the country where you didn’t have to keep paying for land you already bought

2019-06-17 00:06:52 UTC  

Theres 350 million people here...

2019-06-17 00:07:05 UTC  

That ended in 1976, Cujo.

2019-06-17 00:07:05 UTC  

Not enough to go around

2019-06-17 00:07:15 UTC  

It's not even about there being enough now

2019-06-17 00:07:41 UTC  

Not enough to go around in the places where there is the greatest population densities

2019-06-17 00:07:42 UTC  

Property rights = less public land

2019-06-17 00:07:45 UTC  

No thanks

2019-06-17 00:08:13 UTC  

The right to homestead was stripped from us in 76, and if you're aware of the economic developments of the country, or the world, from 1974 to 1984 it's a curiously scattered story.

2019-06-17 00:08:38 UTC  

I’m listening

2019-06-17 00:09:50 UTC  

220 million people in the US in 76 and 2.3 billion acres of land. Not every individual person would even want land, but at that point the shift towards global and commercial economies required a strangled and captivated work force like never before.

2019-06-17 00:10:32 UTC  

Go on

2019-06-17 00:10:35 UTC  

We slaves now

2019-06-17 00:10:52 UTC  

Real serfdom hours

2019-06-17 00:11:28 UTC  

We have 327 million people now for frame of reference

2019-06-17 00:11:31 UTC  

The 70s brougjt a post-wwii boom recession and the economy had to be rapidly converted in order to bring back the growth. That's why the later half of the 80s and 90s were so great.

2019-06-17 00:11:58 UTC  

Wasn't it Reagan that said "Greed is good"?

2019-06-17 00:12:15 UTC  

This is the Reaganomics era, and for America to stay dominant, and for wealth to trickle """down""" you need people working, not homesteading

2019-06-17 00:12:49 UTC  

You need people near entirely reliant on both ends of this new digital world of consumerism

2019-06-17 00:13:09 UTC  

Amazon came up earlier, and is a good example. Walmart is another one.

2019-06-17 00:13:56 UTC  

We over 350 mil with illegals

2019-06-17 00:13:58 UTC  

As shitty as it is to give a company a monopoly on an area, the people there need it. They need the job to be able to survive by turning around and paying what little they get for their labor right back to the company.

2019-06-17 00:14:47 UTC  

So essentially, people need to work if they want these material items that they can’t make/get themselves?

2019-06-17 00:15:11 UTC  

That's the real damning effects on these kinds of companies. It's not just that they shut down other businesses, it's that they dominate the value and return of labor in that community, so much that laborers cannot afford to question practices, unionize, or strike.

2019-06-17 00:15:19 UTC  

People need to work to eat.

2019-06-17 00:16:03 UTC  

People are no longer allowed to see the full value of their labor, you don't get to reap what you sow in a metaphorical or literal sense anymore, especially when you're not allowed the land to do it on.

2019-06-17 00:17:04 UTC  

It's not even a matter of being able to afford the land outright, you're taxed on the land because it forces you to stay chained to a trickle """down""" economy.

2019-06-17 00:17:20 UTC  

We studied the alienation going on with working in our era in my ethics course

2019-06-17 00:18:29 UTC  

The cost of your land taxes is also arbitrarily set and those with more capital than you can easily run you out of being able to afford the tax, and then leave you no choice but to sell.

2019-06-17 00:19:14 UTC  

A concept that is most easily understood through home market values raising or lowering based on the value of the lots around them.

2019-06-17 00:20:47 UTC  

Also, Tex called land we can't access this way anymore "Public" land, which is not a term I appreciate when a lot of it is policed so strictly. Half of the state of California is Federal land. Public land is not a good title to be used because it implies free and fair access to it.

2019-06-17 00:25:07 UTC  

I’m gonna go live out on an island somewhere in the north, I can’t take this bullshit anymore

2019-06-17 00:26:07 UTC  

What I was getting at here is the state will come arrest you for that.

2019-06-17 00:26:51 UTC  

Doesn't matter if you live zero-impact, you're an example to be made.

2019-06-17 00:27:28 UTC  

June's the month of the doomer in FC.

2019-06-17 00:27:59 UTC  

It's like that guy that claimed an oil platform as how own country

2019-06-17 00:28:10 UTC  

And he doesn't even live on it because he knows the threats are real. <:kek:519747357076881408>

2019-06-17 00:29:14 UTC  

I hate that it’s just a waiting game for this to all self destruct

2019-06-17 00:29:14 UTC  

Radio platform, not oil, I think.*
