Thats a bit preposterous...if you want to cap it at a certain arbitrary size, sure go for it, but dont expect other countries to allow our investors to buy thousands of acres of Ag land if we wont allow chinese to buy the same.

If you had a billion dollars would you want an island in the Caribbean? A house in Spain? Greece?

So if you were selling would you go with the low bid? Would you even ask who the high bid was or just cash the check?

That's overly simple and too general, but fairly accurate. The truth has a lot more nuance and detail in it, but your not far off

My question about the Gates land buys and these China land buys is the price.

They seem to be overpaying big time, WHY?

Will they buy some of my timberland for 10k/acre? I would sell it all for that!

What's hilarious about this is they know they can buy up everything they want with no pushback because.... racist.

We're handing them the planet over a technicality and white guilt. When we need to be isolating these motherfrickers and starving them out.

Don't they have 100k+ acres down near the TX border that also borders another AF base?

Buy land, folks. We are now selling our land to Foreigners. It’s been happening since early 2000’s. Bill Gates is the biggest investor. As my daddy said, “they don’t make anymore land”. Think about that. My 90 year old daddy has seen some things in his lifetime. I listen.

Why do we allow capitalism and property rights? Is this a trick question?



Can we buy 300 acres in China?
