Gepetto 1,368 Posted July 10 There also needs to be a limit on the super wealthy buying up farmland. Stop Bill Gates. Bill Gates is the largest private owner of farmland in the United States, holding approximately 275,000 acres. He has been acquiring farmland through various entities and shell companies, with a significant portion concentrated in Nebraska. His investments in farmland are part of a larger strategy to diversify his portfolio and potentially explore agricultural innovations. https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/business-inputs/article/2024/01/30/tech-billionaire-bill-gates-spent#:~:text=Gates himself recently publicly reinforced,episode of Trevor Noah's podcast.

Looked at one recently that was sold in January to a big local realtor. With zero improvements, he flipped the focker for a 50% profit in 3 weeks. The buyer then put a ton of work into it and trying to flip it for another 100% increase. I wonder why nobody can afford housing anymore? Good thing the schmuck that's already worth $30 million or so can make another quick buck by focking over his own customers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
