I agree. Individuals might not be able to afford land. But large corporations will definitely be able and more than willing to.

Because retooling is expensive and time consuming. And there is no guarantee how long this level of demand will sustain. And no guarantees on cheap chinese goods flooding the market and taking all your customers in a few months.

That story always makes me question what decision I will make if in a similar situation.

United airlines recently switched to 5 security questions with a predefined list of acceptable answers. You get a drop down to select from.
