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.

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

There are a lot of people and families that own significantly more land than Gates…Ted Turner, the Briscoe family of TX, many more.

this is a totally false statement

Boeing receives the most gov subsidies and not a farmer of ag company is in the top 100. Also the oil and gas industry, auto industry, airline industry all receive just as much or more from the gov

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.
