“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

I regularly read the Italian papers, both to help with my language proficiency and because they're often funny. Here's how Trump noms are described:

Tulsi "Moscow's girlfriend"
Hegseth "a Crusade fan"
RFK "No-Vax Kennedy Who Betrayed His Family"
Noem "shot her dog in cold blood"
