This "vesting for the future" resembles the timber contracts of the '70s, where stumpage was purchased with no compunction to log for the next 7 years (or at all if a profit margin didn't pan out... & DNR bailed a lot of outfits out of their liability). That's not the ...

Corporations, whose driving single-minded ...
