So I keep seeing posts on fakebook about how the BB Bill will put federally owned lands up for sale. BLM and Forest Service lands. The posts are screaming about how the rich and big companies will now be able to buy our public lands and lock us out. I read through a summery of the bill and cannot find anything about this. I was wondering if anyone here has heard of this or could point me to the section of the bill that they are talking about. I am sure that they are misinterpreting something. If not, I have some land already picked out for my homestead !** EDIT to add that it may be on the senate reconciliation side. See comment below**.

Or they'll just buy it and put it in the possession of an immortal corporation so that if at any point in the next 500 years they could use that land, they can use it.
People who shout about 'freedom' while advocating for this sale have no idea how free it is to have BLM land that isn't fenced off by some shithead.
