Why Nevada Owns Less than 20% of Nevada

Like what does it mean? (For real though?)

I love the way Grey mixes rhyming into his scripts. Not too consistent and gimmicky, but definitely noticeable.

[SoullessCast]

Having worked for the Forest Service, "someone is always going to be angry" is basically the perfect summary of it.

I swear America is that chair that looks like it’s gonna fall apart the second you sit on it, but has been like that for years and is surprisingly, impossibly stable.

[jasperjavillo]

I love how Grey always depicts American as an extremely free-spirited young woman that just does whatever she wants without the consent of any of the states. Like a big sister that constantly and obliviously bullies her younger sister.

As an Alaskan, I thank you for properly sizing my state.

[RapierNeedleCrime]

I will never get tired of the states and countries as stick figure ladies. It’s so cute.

The government testing nukes in Nevada is like stealing somebody’s food and licking it so they can’t steal it back

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).

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.

The US felt bad for dropping nukes on Japan, so to make up for it, it nuked Nevada a thousand times.

Ultimate Power Move: when settling a land dispute, drop a nuclear bomb on it to assert your dominance

[grimgamer]

Oh wow a rare sight of Grey actually completing a story for another time. 😂

[petersmythe]

Nevada and Kazakhstan: getting nuked repeatedly by their larger goverments during peacetime.

[scofield]

More than one CGP Grey video in a decade.
What a time to be alive.

[dixonbuttes]

This is such freaking great video about this subject, you’ve made my Sunday. Thank you for the cogent, honest, and highly usable educational tool you provided in this video. Stunningly well done. 👍 ⭐️

Imagine having actual non-federal land

[Paper_Brain]

The descriptions on the "cards" in this video are genius.
"Nuclear Silo
Artifact land
Enters battlefield tapped, tap to destroy target land"

[jayanisi]

I feel like the phrase “when push comes to shove, America can shove” is the most accurate description of the US that I have ever heard

[foldervtolvr]

When I told my friend that the DoD owns the least amount of land of the federal land managers they were suprised, they knew that America has a massive military. And I simply said “with human made machines you can neatly pack them into hangars and warehouses. With forests and parks they are just big empty spaces of nature. The DoD is still the one with the most ‘power’ it just doesn’t have all the land”

[bookyanimations]

“Using contracts... and guns.”

The true American way
