Farmers are also the largest government assistance receivers in the country, while controlling the food supply.

Money and Power, not necessarily in that order

It's fascinating isn't it? A tech guru who is suddenly an expert in all things. Pandemics. Vaccines. Farming. And then you learn he is big buds with Epstein.

I know, I know. It's all a conspiracy theory.

Now compare that to the largest producer of raw agricultural products in the U.S. .

I, as a classic Libertarian, have a problem with this. When you own too much property, you can become too powerful and potentially take away other people's ability to live life freely. Nope, he shouldn't be able to own that much property. Nothing good can come from that much centralized power.

Landowner does not equal farmer and all of Gates' ground that I know of is cash rent so he doesn't receive subsidies

His AGI is too high anyway

A hallmark of communist totalitarian governments is shipping people to the fields to work if they argue with the government. Maybe he's just getting prepped.

I wonder if he is using the land, leasing it out, or just holding it?

And yet, he would starve if he had to survive by his own hands.

Gates is nothing but a successful conman. His only skill is taking advantage of people with real talent.

Good. Someone can shove a corncob up his arse.

He probably will own only half of that soon and Melinda the other half.

My solution to nearly a million people living on the streets, under bridges and tent cities is to relocate them on Gates nickel to his vast tracts of fertile farmland and setup huge commie style work farms except Bill pays these workers $20/hr and they share in the profits.

It is likely that if Gates saw this on TV it was the first time he was even aware he owned farm land, He is not sitting at his kitchen table picking things to invest in, his money is handled by several investment firms.

I hope beyond everything that he HEAVILY shorted GME and is still caught up in the coming shite storm.
