Yeah they made up any new law they wanted during covid. It's illegitimate and it should be opposed. You guys seem to be in favor of it tho because new property sales laws would stop foreign ownership.
If you owned a farm, broke your ass to pay the mortgage, and put it up for sale to retire. Best American offer is 1 mil, Chinese offer is 3 million. You don't think you should have the right to decide who to sell your farm to?
No one here is in favor of this nonsense but it is what it is.
You have a large percentage of the nation' believing that there was an insurrection of January 6th, which in theory if it did occur it would be in the legal " rights" of the citizens to over throw an oppressive government but that's a completely different topic. Americans are the weakest and most confused they've ever been.
As it stands there are no laws that require that you need to be a US citizen to buy property in America. In theory you can sell to whoever you want to, however if another government starting buying land here that may change (or what would likely happen is the US government would take ownership of the property once sold).
I'm actually surprised there arent laws from McCarthy era politics on the books preventing other nations from owning land here, I wonder how long this will last in the future, however I think America has sold its "soul" at this point so selling property isn't that big of a deal.
Theres no laws against what Bill Gates is doing , yet. I cant imagine anyone is in support of his actions. I'm sure there will be some monopoly issues with farmland if he keeps buying it all up.
