That’s true. But I guess because these guys have more money than anyone, I just assumed that their reasons for wanting to own fly-over country were far more sinister. I suspect money isn’t their motivation any longer. Power and control seems more their goal now. I’m just guessing here, but they may want to have more control over those who reside in fly-over country.

Hmmmm.....as in, buy up the vacant land and leave it vacant, to prevent people from moving to rural areas, thus keeping them stuck in the cities/leftist-controlled areas?

That could be. And in fact, would make the population easier to control.

I heard something (still trying to find the actual info) that during his confirmation hearing for Transportation Secretary, Buttigieg was talking about either raising the gas tax or imposing a mileage fee to raise revenue for infrastructure. That would definitely hurt people in rural areas who have to travel greater distances for services than those in town. Plus it would curtail recreational travel, such as my retirement plans of traveling with an rv full-time.
