So it can be gobbled up by huge agro business.

This time they want to break them.

What do I base this on? Just my gut feeling. These people are greedy evil.

I know there is talk about it, but I don't think it will happen (unless they are successful at stopping elections or rigging them)

I think if they could, they would have rigged Wisconsin.

we can look at all sorts of small businesses that have been swallowed up by large corporations going back decades.

Think your gut feeling is spot on, land is valuable.

For some reason my mind just went to some old arcade games on the boardwalk where you shoot something and get a prize. We're all sitting ducks being picked off one by one by monied interests.

Big business, aka progress? ... leaves wounded in their wake.
