SOMEBODY STOP HIM!!! Bill Gates wins legal approval to buy huge swath of North Dakota farmland worth $13.5M!
NOT AGAIN!!!
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)]

Titles only:

Caused controversy in the state due to law that limits corporate ownership of ranches

Bill Gates has secured legal approval for his North Dakota farmland purchase

Gates' firm, Red River Trust, purchased 2,100 acres in the state for $13.5 million

But the deal drew scrutiny under a 1932 anti-corporate farm ownership law

Now state AG says the deal is legal, because the land will be leased to farmers

Gates is the largest single owner of US farmland, with some 270,000 acres

Can't he just die instead!?

I don't believe this:

However, the billionaire's holdings make up only about 1 percent of the nearly 900 million total farm acres in the U.S.

IMPOSSIBLE!!! Someone's math is way off, here!

Thanks but midnight is several hours away and it usually happens at 3AM in my timezone. Also, I changed tabs and it worked. It was completely bizarre at that other page.

When he removes pins they don't suddenly all pop back up. Not sure what Happened, I wasn't in "favorites" or anything, I checked. Thanks though.

Back on topic, please....

He's buying up all the farmland so he can make sure we can all eat synthetic beef and soy. What a true philanthropist.

Yet again, as with alllll the other land he's bought up... it's dry land in the scallion maps.

Whatever your thoughts on those maps, the correlation is there and I'd check where I live on them if I was you.

My place is submerged in the UK... where they're trying to make people move away from the coasts...
