Both shareholder's lists read like a "Who's Who of N. American Cabalite Corps(es)."

Every single corp(see) on both lists stand to earn yuuuugely by screwing farmers, fertilizer and fertilizing companies, and (again) the shipping industry. And if [they] play [their] cards right, [they] may stand to gain farms and farmland, too (thru foreclosures).

Which has me convinced there's no way Bill Gates isn't somehow at the center of all this.
