    I really think that, if we are to get this to work, we must start with the ranchers as well. I live on one of those ‘more cows than people’ areas, and I don’t think any rancher is going to hang up that income opportunity until they have a viable alternative. Some of them have already diversified to meet ends, but I think most have not.

      Georgism would solve that problem. They wouldn’t be able to make a profit just letting cows graze

        Wow, I just did a brief look at Georgism (on Wikipedia) and there too many new terms and concepts for me to form an opinion right now.

        Thanks for introducing something new! It will take me some time to grasp it.

          I still don’t fully grok it either, but it sounds like a pretty decent solution to a lot of our issues.
