In truth, I have a brother who is one of the very people engaged in this sort of thing. He routinely works to get property taken for building new facilities for a major US retailer (I better not say which one here).
As you might suspect, things are a bit tense between me and my bro right now... especially since I campaign actively against ED abuse.
Whoa, that's heavy. My condolences. If it ever comes up, just remember that the Golden Rule upon which all western moralities are based means that it's MORALLY wrong to INITIATE force or fraud, whether you happen to get it LEGALLY okayed anywhere or not. AND: there IS an objective morality which says the exact same thing, whether anyone (mostly lawyers) insist that morality is subjective or not. Good luck!
