'Free-land'
"The homestead was an area of
public land in the West (usually 160 acres or 65 ha) granted to any US citizen willing to settle on and farm the land. The law (and those following it) required a three-step procedure: file an application,
improve the land, and file for the patent (deed). Any citizen who had never taken up arms against the U.S. government (including
freed slaves after the
fourteenth amendment) and was at least 21 years old or the
head of a household, could file an application to claim a federal land grant. Women were eligible. The occupant had to reside on the land for five years, and show evidence of having made improvements. The process had to be complete within seven years."
Long story short the west needed to be expanded and they needed an incentive to do so. Do I want National Forest's getting used, no, but there's a ton of Alaskan wilderness and Yukon which is still incredibly expensive. Certain states have different homestead laws; i.e. 'we'll make it cheaper for you if you're going to farm the land' or what not. But the main take away point here is that land is expensive, but those of us willing and able to homestead it or don't mind the wilderness shouldn't be restricted to buying it. Sounds kind of silly ok, but the fact of the matter is there's no incentive to farm because big business owns the agro industry, I mention all of this because were essentially slaves ok, this isn't the 'land of the free', our freedom is an illusion and limited to select amount of choices. The only real option to break this commie state which the U.S. has become is to allow for the individual to plot their land call it their own. Sure, the capitalist will just say, "You are free, why are you complaining?" - well, for one I'm not complaining, but generally speaking making an arbitrary measurement like money as equal to my entire humanity as the equivalent of 'freedom' is kind of ridiculous. Sure, I'm 'free' to save money, but it's really missing the point to think money = freedom and is 'everything'. Money is just another gatekeeper metric tool to keep you enslaved without revolting. Money intrinsically is more neutral in general, but it's also vastly overrated and there is an insane amount of weight put on money as if it actually matters when it doesn't.
The obvious precursor to this is how 'chaz' is making it's insane claims and while that whole experiment is a joke and farce the underlying issue is still relevant; i.e. your only as free as the capital you have. In other words if you don't have any money, you aint buying any land, hell, if you don't have any money obviously your off in lala-land, but the fact remains that the barrier to entry is still fairly steep and the society 'game' employed is pretty ridged. Anyways my whole point in bringing this up is I just want free-land because it's there and no one's doin' anything with it and I don't feel like I should have to pay to be perfectly honest.
You ever driven through the southwest U.S. or any of these places where there's not a city in site for miles and miles and miles? There is a TON of land ok, and obviously who wants to start building in the middle of a desert, but it's even true the more north you go,anyways I just don't think I should have to pay. Forget giving me a stimulus check, how about give me acres of land instead.
