Indeed, many industries depend on highly limited resources, such as land, natural resources and so on.

Yes I did, in a broader context, which it is commonly assumed the reader is following.

The things distorting these markets in the US are typically nothing as simple as land, natural resources, etc... more they are policy decisions and politics. Suggesting otherwise is facile.

That really is the last I'll say on the issue.

We’re not going anywhere where useful now.
