@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.

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).

The forest service also manages ski areas on their land, which includes the vast majority of resorts in the rockies, so they are involved in recreation as well.

@Jack Linde: the new online game is called magic the gathering arena. It is new and a good way to play standard but it does not include the set "Oath of the Gatewatch" which is currently the only mtg set to include wastes.

The Forest Service, in its own right, is a timber sale company, much like the video said. An excellent podcast sort of showcasing this example is "The Timber Wars", which is about the management/sale of old growth forest and how selling forests for timber puts the balance of endemic animals off. It's much less about OR v USA, but it does very strictly have to do with the forest service and land management

@@reigyst that's a myth and a lie, more anti-white propaganda. Something like 85% of all land that the Indians had they sold directly. 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.
