I was speaking about the cases of cattlemen using government land for all but free ( token payments of 20 dollars for rights to graze on 5000 acres etc. ) . Here in Idaho, we wanted to expand our range where our aircraft train in low level terrain avoidance, dropping dummy bombs and dof fighting etc. There was an uproar from the cattle guys since we could not have livestock where we are doing these risky types of flying. There was a HUGE uproar and the US Government ended up paying these A$$holes a few million to shut them up. Paying people off so the government can use land it owns. This country has lost it's mind! If I decide to sit in my yard but you were sitting there first, am I going to pay you to leave? Heck no! You got about 10 seconds to move your rear or I come out with the Rock Salt loaded Shotgun if I am being a friendly neighbor or else I use the 44 Mag if you are on my bad neighbor list.
