      Dirt as a Growth Industry
      I think a much bigger issue is that some of the best farm land is being paved over. While compaction and such is certainly an issue - like this article says it will come back, but once land is paved over it's gone forever. And the fact that most major cities are located on or near the best farm land make the problem that much worse.

      Are American Companies Now Up For Grabs?
      I live in Canada and as such I've seen how for years - decades - the US has been hammering Canada and as such I assume a lot of other countries as well - about their business practices. When the Canadian government has blocked or even questioned a US business buying out a Canadian owned one, it's been made perfectly clear that the US will not tolerate government meddling into the private sector and free enterprise.
      It's been made clear that the US will use any and all means to punish Canadians should we try to assert out nationality through retaining these businesses. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, people are crying foul. I really hope the United States doesn't expect much sympathy from people in other countries.
      Don't get me wrong, I do understand the plight faced by those whose jobs are jeopardized with this venture. But this is the free enterprise model that the United States has used to it's advantage in other places for a long time. It has to go both ways for it to be really "free"
