Our private and public lands are NOT FOR SALE to the highest bidder. Stop this scheme NOW. We GET IT that a certain few want to intentionally prioritize unscientific B.S., fake-environmentalism, and fear mongering over HUMAN EXISTENCE in land that belongs to the people and should be left to them to flourish free from a yoke of tyranny, lies and deceit. It's utter madness that our sovereign nation would continually allow foreign stakeholders who do NOT hold to our values (moral and other) to control lands, both public and private, and not be required to adhere to due diligence and other protective policies for conducting “unsustainable activities", such as mining, that lead to the raping and degradation of the ecosystems. We can't let these NACs prevent the productive use of the land, which would hurt the landowners financially, but also reduce the supply of minerals, food, and other goods that come from the land. We MUST NOT let companies profit over OUR PRECIOUS LANDS. We ALL KNOW just how corrupt many companies are and how THEIR interests always come first over OUR interests (the public’s). Stop all the favors to special interests. We are tired of this unacceptable and utterly selfish behavior. Do something for US for a chance and do not allow America to be sold-off! Sincerely
