We've always referred to it as Bureau of Leasing and Mining, but whatever floats your boat.

It has always been a screaming deal.  Detractors used to claim that BLM stood for Bureau of Livestock and Mining.

That $165,000 is what, about $118/head? I honestly don't know what a whole cow is worth at auction, but I would guess around $1,000-$1,500? if your friend is doing OK at that rate, the $16/head price seems like a screaming deal.

The soundbites make it seem like that bunch of cooks has a valid argument. Once you dig down into it you find they are a bunch of anarchist that seem skilled at swaying the media. As Chuck said, if you are going to use a public asset, you have to pay the public (gevernment) for its use. For some reason, they think they are exempt and want something for nothing.
The funny thing to me is that typically, grazing rights from the government are extremely cheap compared to private land costs. It is $1.35 per head a month or $16.20 a year. A friend of mine that leases 40,000 acres on a ranch out here for about 1400 head. He pays about $165k a year more than that. He does get all surface rights, which include hunting which he resells, but he only does that to defray costs. I am sure he would love to forget about the hunting revenue and just pay the $22,680 a year.

Is that where the Bundies are?  I saw something about them wanting to do a gathering of people with armed enforcement of the right to assemble or something like that. 
 
While I sympathize somewhat with some of their grazing and water issues in Utah and Nevada those guys seem to be itching for a fight.  They have the religious element in their arguments.
 
If you graze on public land, you have to pay your grazing fees.  No exceptions...

Interesting that the worst place for COVID-19 cases is Blaine County Idaho (> 2,000 cases per 100,000 population), and the Bundies are at it again.

I wish they had these charts per state or metro area, but I haven't found that anywhere yet (not that I've spent a lot of time looking... )
 
The problem with this, is that it's pretty much just showing the NYC curve at this point (since everything else is buried under those numbers), and doesn't really give us a good picture of what's happening in other parts of the country. I expect we're going to follow along with Chicago here, which looks like it's probably just getting started...
