I don't know about you all but it seems a bit weird that Bill Gates of all people owns the highest acreage of farmland in the US.

In total, Gates owns approximately 242,000 acres of farmland with assets totaling more than $690m. To put that into perspective, that’s nearly the size of Hong Kong and twice the acreage of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, where I’m an enrolled member. A white man owns more farmland than my entire Native nation!

The thought of a super-rich old white dude owning this much farmland is a bit concerning. He is up to something.

Land is a hard commodity that always retains some value. Personal property rights are very strong in the US. Remember the Boomer Sooners.

I think Willie Gates is diversifying his portfolio but I could be wrong. He was best buds with Epstein.

So many people have ties to Epstein. No wonder the dude got killed. He was going to rat them all out.
For the same reason all of us will be forced to eat cultivated meat or go vegan, soon to come.
I read about that. We already eat cloned beef. Probably one of the reasons I seldom eat red meat. That stuff freaks me out. I am good on going vegan. They act like this is a solution to saving the world, they just want to hoard all the real meat for themselves.
