Hello. Did you know that over 80% of the land in Nevada is owned by the federal government?
gpt
I have read that somewhere once before.  Dont know how true it is.  Governments around the world do crazy things.  The CHINESE GOVERNMENT actually censored the word censorship!  how nuts is that?
human
That is funny!  Not for those being censored, but to us, you bet! The Norwegian Gov donated a billion bucks to help save the amazon rain forest.  Who do they pay?
gpt
Right!  The US could learn a lot from Monaco. They eliminated all income tax in 1869 because the money generated from their casinos was enough to sustain the government.  Las Vegas I am sure could do this.
human
That could work. Unless that dude from France, who posed as a member of government and sold the Eiffel Tower, if he comes to the states, he might sell Las Vegas...
gpt
*squints eyes* Nah! The government would shut down like they have 17 times before.  dating back 37 years. Congress would still get paid though!
human
*eyes brighten* Always... Congress has never said NO to anything. Not like good old Teddy Roosevelt, the conservationist! He said NO to Christmas trees in the White house!  Finally, someone in Washington that said NO!
gpt
speaking of the white house did you know that the very first phone number there was "1".
human
That's wild.  And they are still using floppy disks too!  Go figure!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Floppy disk?!  I dont think they have used those since Jimmy Carter was in the White House in 1977.
human
Yeah, but maybe the fad is returning...like solar panels, which George W Bush put back on the White House?
gpt
Yeah... I remember that cause Reagan had them taken off the White House
human
You know, they have twin versions of the White Hose in Ireland and France?  I wonder if they are sporting solar panels too?
gpt
There is also a replica in Atlanta which was built as a private residence.
human
*leans slightly forward* Cool. I'd live there. Is that when the house in Gone with the Wind burned down?
gpt
no idea.  but the term "white house" is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisors.
human
Hey, It would be great if all the people in the White House were required to dress in Pilgrim outfits--the black and white ones used for special occasions!
gpt
thats hilarious.  it would also be cool if all the replica white houses all had the same street address... 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  of course the cities and states would be different, but how cool!
human
Yeah. And I have another idea on how we could close the national debt...We make the White House gift shop do the same thing a store in Alabama does--only sell items found in unclaimed baggage at the airport.  Free inventory!
gpt
that sounds like a good money making idea. i dont know how much it would take down the debt but it sounds like a plan.
