The government testing nukes in Nevada is like stealing somebody’s food and licking it so they can’t steal it back
Nevada are you sure you want this land that we’ve nuked dozens of times? You’re cool with me keeping it right? Cool thanks.
That's a perfect analogy
Most underrated comment
@Nunya Business Yes, but the testing was done on a tiny portion of it. Look at the map again. Nevadans were butting heads with an organization called BLM long before it was cool because it controls so much in the state. Whether it’s a farmer’s water rights being violated, a rancher just trying to let his cattle graze, or anyone being bothered by wild animals, BLM is always in somebody’s way. I don’t think most Nevadans would mind the state taking control of a bit of useless land (even if it meant a tax hike) if it meant that the feds weren’t there to make the parts that ARE useful (including land owned by individuals) a pain to use.
To be fair to the federal government, almost all of the state is practically uninhabitable anyways. It's just, a huge desert.
I just love how Grey acknowledges the complications he can’t possibly cover. He makes it clear that this isn’t the full story, because a perfectly complete explaination would take ages and would be a colossal video and would need *updating* if anything changed.

If there's ever any doubt about the Forest Service's mission, just note that it's in the Department of Agriculture. A National Forest is essentially a great big tree farm. And as such, those nearby can get a Christmas Tree for WAY less than you would spend at a Christmas Tree Farm. And by that I mean for a $10 permit you're allowed to take a tree any size up to 20 feet. You just have to be able to haul it yourself (and cut it down without killing yourself or anyone else).
Natural forests are great for legal bonsai poaching as well. 10 bucks for a legal tree, as old and weathered as you can find, all for a low flat rate.
Ah so that's why the federal government is inefficient and has so many legal loopholes.

That’s why military bases have terrible housing. This explains everything
That's terrible. There ought to be federal regulations.
It cant be blamed on them alone, a long time ago they hired contractors to manage the housing, these contractors took the money that they were given, and immediately tried to us as little of it as possible and then charge as much for it as they can, the army is actually in a long legal battle with most of these companies to try and kick them and there money stealing butts off of the installation but they didn't make it easy for themselves back when this all started.
Technically the military has full authority to set standards for base housing which they do. They just suck because reasons. Though the newer barracks are nice as fuck though.
Yes, that is the point of the video isn’t it

In fact they often sold the same land multiple times to different buyers and got paid each time, hence the concept of "Indian giving". They were literally too stupid to understand what was going on.
No one stole anything from them. They were just conquered, and purchased by a superior power. Which to be honest is the story for about 99% of human history on every continent and every country.

"Your State is Smaller than You Think" is that it is more general and thus a better title. However, the "your" is making an America centric video more America centric.
As not-a-subscriber (yet), most likely I would not click on "Your State is Smaller Than You Think" video
Yeah, "Your state is Smaller Than You Think" is much better click bait, even if it is a little America centric.
Now it says "What is Federal Land"
Did it change 6 times?!
seriously i cant be the only one that loves how personified everything is getting right? just girls everywhere. could make an anime out of it

The best part about this was when the federal government kept taking land from citizens who already had bought it. But it didn't compensate them for their loss, and it didn't care just swept it all under a rug.
Nevada isn't that bad, Just don't wander too far off.

Guess that's only 3 people ever really lived in Las Vegas, and everyone else just arrives, eats their complimentary shrimp cocktail, and leaves.

This is amazing! Would love to see a similar breakdown of how and why Canada did theirs
I love how you added the colourless mana as well. Nice touch.
Surprised to see you here!
@@EverCryTCG I watch a lot of different youtube things :) Rarely comment though.
Don't you mean waste mana

Yeah. If Nevada didn't have mostly Wastes before, she sure does now.
(Honestly she did before too)

Kind of feel bad for Nevada, they got nuked like 300 times
Actually more than a thousand. Over half of all nuclear weapons ever detonated by humanity were detonated in my state. It's glorious
@@joemiller947 I always wonder how you guys are actually compensated for that. Did you at least got cheap healthcare for all that nuke radiations?
@@zeroyuki92 Radiation isn't really a concern actually. No mutant spiders or anything. However we don't have to pay state taxes, so that's quite nice
@@joemiller947 "No mutant spiders"

sucks how nevada will never get to be anything more than Reno and Vegas because the US took all of its land

edit: this one asshole said an extremely racist thing and then deleted it xdxdxd
@@Laotzu.Goldbug Ah, ok. So may I assume that you're some kind of Nazi sympathiser? At least a White supremacist, xenophobe and anti-Semite, I can tell. Note that this isn't name-calling, I'm simply trying to understand why you would say such things, and those labels both fit your behavior so far and would make your statements coherent. I just didn't expect someone like that on this channel. Who would have thought?
Edit: Why did you delete your reply? Aren't you confident in your hatred of the Jews and Mexicans, or as you call them, "anti-Whites and subversives"?

THAT’S REALLY RACIST
@@somatia350 He knows it and is happy with it. I mean, he literally said he'd applaud any Pole who celebrated the Holocaust. Telling someone like that that what they're saying is racist won't make a difference because they know it and embrace it.

That's an understatement!
i really wish he would upload more

i mean this in the nicest way i love your videos for how they make me fall asleep and i learn a lot so thank you i think
Idk about anyone else, but seeing the map at 7:55 really explains a lot of certain state politics to me. Like why illinois is considered such a powerhouse of untapped farming land and why it hardly sees any military vehicles.
Really the entire population of Illinois is located in the Chicago and Springfield areas, the rest is basically flat farm land and rural towns. Even Carbondale has basically collapsed from what it used to be.. I guess this is a bit tangential but it feels like it helps contextualize
@@houseofrandomgaming1525 as a person from Illinois:correct
@@houseofrandomgaming1525 that is incredibly accurate
As a person from southern area of Illinois we prefer to pretend Chicago doesn’t exist. Or if it has to we would like it to leave Illinois and become its own state.
@@pcdeltalink036 you can join missori kentucky or Indiana you cant get two senators. If you want to be your own state we need to change the way the senate is elected to a more proportional system that goes for the electoral college as well

Coming from a western state (Idaho) I can say that large amounts of federal land aren’t all bad. We have access to pretty much any place we want to go to because it’s mostly accessible to the public. It’s really nice being able not be limited by fences like in the eastern states.
The northwest in general is proud of its federal lands because they are largely public, we love the nature anyways, and BLM keeps logging to reasonable levels. The southwest and midwest has some major and legitimate concerns due to abuse and mismanagement of federal lands for commercial (and as stated in the video, military) purposes. Federal land is fine until the fed ignores the welfare of the state land and people around it.
Exactly. As your neighbor to the South the vast majority of our economy is based on tourism to the lands, whether the ski resorts (usually Forest Service) or the 5 National Parks we've got.
Yep. Gotta love free camping on BLM land
Notice that the western states are ALSO very concerned about federal laws and tend to be the liberal ones pushing updates to federal laws, while eastern and southern states tend to focus more on state sovereignty and "states rights" wanting as little federal involvement as possible. It makes a lot of sense that you'd care what America thinks if over half your land is America.
Not all Idahoans appreciate the Federal Government Land Management, and truly believe that it could be done better locally.
The picture of the US's states being a bunch of girls at a slumber party is really funny to me.
Damn Grey is trying to weed out the finalists of no nut November with those sexy states
