"We're not going to do anything, and they know it. We're just going to bend over and Baaa! Baaa! like the good little sheeple that we are."
And the reason Americans will do that is because they do not want to fundamentally realign their constitutional structure.
To stop these things from happening, they need to do that. It's the only way.
But the "US Constitution" has become practically an idol to so many Americans, that any fundamental change in it is assailed as "un-American".
Caught in the cognitive dissonance of the need to change something sacred, most Americans will default to apathy.
Of course, most land will not be seized. Only that which is necessary for the development projects of my clients.
America just made itself a much more attractive target for high-end European real estate investment. It is hard to assemble land anywhere. America just made it a lot easier.
That means more foreign investment...all those Euros that can't be effectively invested in Paris or Bordeaux because the land cannot be gotten so easily.
The Supreme Court certainly struck a blow for free market capitalism in land transactions. Land is, after all, just another commodity. Those with the greatest means who can negotiate the best deals should, in a free market, be able to oust those who make less economically efficient uses of it. The US Supreme Court would seem to agree. Certainly my industry approves!
I didn't know it was possible to pack so much bs in one sentence. Congrats.
In Nazi Germany, you could make soap quite cheaply from all the fat you could render from the Jews.
Perhaps you'd cheer that too.
Which other commodities that I own would you support the government forcing me to sell to someone against my will, as long as he could make more efficient economical use of it? Presumably all of them.
And who defines what is the most efficient economical use of a commodity? In my world, it's the free market; in yours, it seems, it's the government.
People like you frighten me.
Private property ownership means litte if it doesn't mean having the right to refuse to sell to another private party for any reason or no reason at all.
What you are are advocating is legalized theft in which one private citizen rationalizes the theft by claiming to know better than the victim what the "true" value of the property is. Are you really ready to go down that road?
You gave yourself away here Vichy, it is the gloating of Eurotrash statism gone wild.
