Bass Pro won't build on wetlands, but they will use the jobs carrot to secure subsidies from localities where they build their stores. Often garnering giveaways and allowances which make the gain of a Bass Pro store a net loser of an investment for the locality.

Unfortunately, that is what passes for free enterprise these days. They still get credit for the wetlands decision.
