I agree, Flyer. The ‘breathless media’ is part of the oligarchy.
Tyranny.
Our government owns half the land in the entire nation, could open it up to a new migration that would VASTLY expand the power, wealth, and influence of the USA.
They could swap food stamps for land and a tractor, and the enterprising would take them up on it, and instead we get them selling mineral rights to China via a discredited Clinton Secretary of State.
Amazing that we put up with this.
Pretty sure most of the arable land was homesteaded long, long ago. There's a reason western states never took over big swaths of land - no one wanted it.
