    My dad once told me that Bill Gates buying up a bunch of land was evidence that he was securing a food supply in preparation for a communist take-over (as opposed to a rich person investing in shit). When I told him that communists aren't exactly known for respecting billionaires' land rights, he responded, "Well, not unless you're the one on top!"

      I mean, so much the premise hinges on the belief that Bill Gates is either going to be implementing Perfectly Roboticized Farms some time in the near future (Galt's Gulch Techno-futurist fantasy that Randroids love) or that he'll be sipping lemonade in a white cotton suit while overseers with big whips keep the human labor in line (the White Nationalist Return to Tradition fantasy that neo-confederates love).

      Neither want to come to terms with the modern moment or to address all the layers of bureaucracy necessary to make capitalist controls work.
