Livable areas of the United States of America
my smartest friend in college left tech & is now a farmer at a buddhist monastery his days are: harvesting & meditating & walking through the forest & cooking his meals he could excel at anything he wanted. he chose a life that is simple and good, with all his intelligence
Syria has begun concrete steps toward a major public transport project in Damascus: a 16.5 km metro line with 17 stations.
Exactly. Sell it or give it to the states, then. Protect what you want. Make all the parks you want. The Feds should be out of it. It has no business doing land management. People that "lease" fed land below market rates should be forced to buy it. Stop the federal government picking winners and losers. Most fed land is scrubland anyway.
150 years ago, the East Coast of the United States was covered in American chestnuts. It was said that a squirrel could walk from New England to Georgia solely on the branches of American chestnuts. The tree produced so many nuts that it became a key food source for both humans and wildlife In 1900, a fungal disease from Japan killed nearly all of them. While new chestnut trees sometimes sprout, they are almost immediately infected and killed by the airborne fungus. They are functionally extinct. This is what free trade does to your country

Some things are worth more than money.
Critical support to Mike Lee. Land use in the West is bonkers, and a privatization scheme would be good. it's all owned by the government and is just used for cattle ranching
