A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
I don’t care who Sponsors this bill, this needs to be done. How about China owning most of the pork farms and that alfalfa farm that is foreign owned? The US needs to protect our food chain.
Agreed. The reason orange juice is going through the roof and avocados are doing likewise is because greedy landowners sold their lands and said crops, once plentiful in the US now come from other countries. The farmers in Mexico leveled thousands of acres of corn to grow agave for tequila. Now they have plenty of tequila ( that is on the wane in popularity ) but not enough food. The water gobbling alfalfa fields of CA are almost exclusively owned by Arabic countries that dutifully harvest it and ship it to the Middle East.
As far as I understand it, what you’re describing is capitalism. What Mary Miller is proposing seems to be a form of socialism in which the government is determining who owns the land. I think Representative Miller is pretty familiar with government involvement as her family is involved in agriculture.
