RE: RE: RE: RE: Want a rail? Tarquin4. On another China mover & shaker subject, did you read the Oct 6/12 WSJ re "Parched in West but Shipping Water to China, Bale by Bale" ?
The upper US Western States' Water is being sucked up by super-expansive Alfafa growing & then going to China to feed their cows.
The result is Western US States are fast becoming ever more drought-sticken, especially the more southern US States.
The article doesn't get into Alfalfa Pricing or any China-related US land ownership.
Above is posted to emphaize that China, as an e.g., by not breaking any US laws, have a powerful will & ability to get their way.
The above is not a joke just like the ROF becoming a give-away must be fully protected against. Antiquated & conflicting North American laws, with citizens having little or no drive to protect themselves is beyond stupid.
