modern poverty =/= hunger

But sure there are a lot of fattiea

Fatties*

Poverty is still poverty m8

Singapore has dealt with homless neets

It's literally illegal to be poor and unemployed there.

What system does Singapore use?

They put you in an apartment and give you a job- say sweeping streets

You have no option but to sweep the street.

If you don't they cane you

So now you have a job, and can pay for the apartment.

So how would we design that for the PNW colony?

Because it would be new and wouldn't have a lot of empty housing

why would we need that?

Also, for Singapore, they do have the Asian perception of honour and shame.

Which is much stronger than in Anglo culture today

welfare in the US is not a part of any municipality

but I guess we could run a charity

Charity is key

In Europe it was the Church that provided charity

That was one of the main purposes of monasteries.

Should we start a church?

And how do we stop the church from coming corrupt?

We dont have to, but we should look at how it provided social assistance.

That has been thought about, if we have enough people we probably will start a church

I think having a church in the future society would be fairly beneficial, especially for those of us who espouse faith

I've lived in rural close-knit christian communities before. Usually if a family has a problem, the rest of the community comes together and gets them out of it.

Think less religious worship and more community gathering I think

That family then feels an obligation to contribute in the future

More of a binding force rather than one strictly committed to worship

This community is open to all western faiths right?

yes

So it would be nondemonitainally Christian?

That said, some Catholic monastic orders are comfy AF.

It will be Christian, but now is too early to decide on specifics

>every Sunday in the PNW Colony my family and I play sport with members of the local community at the church playing field and it's my father turn to cook the BBQ for everyone

Has any specific location in the northwest been discussed at all as far as the start of the homesteading?

How much land are we thinking of?

1000 Acres?

to start?

More is better
