in great depression, people could go buy cheap land outside the city, grow some crops. raise some animals, survive. here is the difference toda

The Indians didn't believe in land ownership.

The produce sells but whos buying, China? Lol

who cares if they're selling to china and making a lot of money,

you aren't. capitalism is all about selfishness, which in old days was the very definition of evil

what do I benefit if they are using a million acres to grow soybeans and sell them to china? why would I care?

well the Spanish did.
the spanish sold it to the French

the French sold it to the US

but yes, property is all illegal and made up and all property is just really thugs squatting.

There's free land in Kansas. Free

Bullshit.
We worked for decades for our property, and you could have it too if you want it enough to work for it.

Indians that were farmers sure as hell believed in land ownership.
Only the nomads didn't believe in land ownership by families, but they did believe in the tribal ownership of hunting grounds, and would defend them.

you never did shit for me personally, why do i care

In the 1920s 90% of people lived on farms and millions starved to death, Now less than 10% live on farms and how many will die???

I am a urban gardener, small animals on 1 acre in So Cal, To feed my near by family of 4 generations, lets say 10 people 1500 calories a day so 15k calories a day,450,000 a month,5,400,000 calories a year!

Do you cull the old? the worthless?

I think i could do it as i have 5.5 million calories on hand.
10 chickens hens and 2 roosters hatch my own, Rabbits 2 breading pairs, Several hundred pounds of seed to grow food fodder and sprouts, a half acre of premo garden area of a-minded soil for large plants.
Hydroponic trays 4x8, components and neut's.
Sprouting trays to do 100 plus pounds a week.
Knowledge and practice in the garden calendar and threats from pests and disease.

So much more

if you're thinking about eating animals when calories are scarce, you're doing it wrong.

these ranchers all scream and become hysterical if they aren't allowed to us all the US federal land for free.

but what do you think would happen if a homeless group wanted to buy some land to start a little town?

OP doesnt know what the fuck they are talking about.

in the Great Depression my grand parents had a farm near route 66

they fed many many people headed west

today you just get raped and murdered and burn the farm down

Vladimir, I want you to personally show me to my new weed factory office.

I have to meet with the ponzi vape supplier soon, get off your lazy ass and drive down to hell.

millions of people did not starve to death in the 1920s you moron

if you think that is true then go find a source to prove it

see you next century

And Vlad, I do like a corner office.

Preferably with a view of that star nursery motherfucker. He needs a few learning experiences, and I have just the rifle to provide the motivation.

I read Jimmy Carter's book, An Hour Before Dawn. gives a pretty good description of life during the Depression.

His family owned a good size plot of land but they still lived pretty poor. no running water, air condtioning, toilet paper, things like that. just dozens of things you take for granted did not even exist back then.

people only got electricity during rural electrification project some years later

That sounds good, but in the coming GD 2.0, where are the farmers going to get their fuel for their combines, tractors, etc?
