The flooding of farm land does make more sense now. If the gov. owns a lot of farm land, or most, they can control food and food production. Or hey, go green, don’t grow anything, don’t allow anyone to build on that land, or grow, just let it go back to nature. Got one word for this, evil.
“Or hey, go green, dont grow anything, dont allow anyone to build on that land, or grow, just let it go back to nature.”
The usual scenario is close to what you posted, with a slight but financially important difference: “Or hey, go green, dont grow anything, dont allow anyone to build on that land, or grow grass (protected by gangs).”
