All beaches should be open to individuals who want to fish for food

[Anti Federalist]

And fishing? Ha. With what fishing poles, line, hooks and bait?

I can't speak to the homeless and all their issues, but poor folks used to be able to go fishing, with everything provided, for a buck or two, back before government got into the act, regulating and licensing and banning everything.

This boat worked in my home town back in the 50s.

Our governor suspended fishing license requirements for April. You can fish for free here.

This is Prime Time to put Agorism into Practice. Educate others, have others practice with you...

In a nutshell, libertarian is an impractical philosophy, Agorism is the practical solution that can be applied to everyday life.

Skip the fishing “permits”. Yes, the onus is on you, but if enough people participate... it must start somewhere.

Depends. Opening day on Wilsons Creek here in N.C. was packed despite Governors orders. But, then, it usually is. Were it not for 'permits' that creek would be fished out in a season. Permits pay to have that creek restocked 7 times a year.

I hear you but what I'm saying is the people living on the streets are overwhelmingly mentally ill and/or drug addicts. They aren't likely to be going fishing anytime soon. If they did, it would look something like this:

That is my take.

I just reread my comments and I could see how they would be perceived as harsh. I think a lot of it depends on your perception of who a homeless person is. I live in the Ann Arbor area which attracts a ton of freeloaders. And even this communist city is fed up with these people. I can promise you they aren't fishing for food and they aren't just down and out people people beaten down by big government. They are loathsome people gaming the system. They give puppy dog eyes all the while making a couple hundred bucks a day and then scamming the government out of money.

These articles are par for the course.

Well, I wouldn't be that harsh. In just Los Angeles alone, there are an estimated 60K living on the streets and surely some must be harmless or nice enough but most are still massively f-d in the head and some dangerous. I'm not judging them and how they got there but just stating a fact and they DO need help but not 1200 bucks. Their situation is WAY beyond that. The money from thin air would be better spent on public bathrooms and showers. Throwing 1200. bucks at them is more like the kind of thing shitlib commies would do while they're still defecating in the streets. Dunno if you've ever heard Dr Drew talk about this but he's spot on.

You say you're in Ann Arbor and I'm in Grand Rapids (outside of the city). The homeless are way better off here (and they're near the river so that could fish, if capable), than in big cities like LA and Seattle, though someone was murdered in one of the camps not long ago. I remember, decades ago, seeing stuff about Bombay and people living in cardboard boxes. It's astonishing our country has become that.


Anyway, gardens and prepping are good but I also want this bullshit communist lockdown ended and the economy restored. If we start thinking just how we're going to survive, we're not demanding our freedom and a functioning market.

Loved that scene!

Of course they know what they're doing!

Hey, Santini, what's this?

It's a fish...

Yeah, that's right...and what are we gonna do with it?

Catch bigger fish.

Ya see?!

That being said...stop being so hard on the homeless...I've had crews that looked worse than that.
