modern poverty =/= hunger

2017-10-21 05:39:41 UTC  

But sure there are a lot of fattiea

2017-10-21 05:39:47 UTC  

Fatties*

2017-10-21 05:40:02 UTC  

Poverty is still poverty m8

2017-10-21 05:41:24 UTC  

Singapore has dealt with homless neets

2017-10-21 05:41:36 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:42:12 UTC  

What system does Singapore use?

2017-10-21 05:43:20 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:43:31 UTC  

You have no option but to sweep the street.

2017-10-21 05:43:41 UTC  

If you don't they cane you

2017-10-21 05:43:57 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:45:17 UTC  

So how would we design that for the PNW colony?

2017-10-21 05:45:46 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:46:06 UTC  

why would we need that?

2017-10-21 05:46:08 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:46:31 UTC  

Which is much stronger than in Anglo culture today

2017-10-21 05:46:45 UTC  

welfare in the US is not a part of any municipality

2017-10-21 05:46:54 UTC  

but I guess we could run a charity

2017-10-21 05:47:02 UTC  

Charity is key

2017-10-21 05:47:14 UTC  

In Europe it was the Church that provided charity

2017-10-21 05:47:31 UTC  

That was one of the main purposes of monasteries.

2017-10-21 05:47:31 UTC  

Should we start a church?

2017-10-21 05:47:53 UTC  

And how do we stop the church from coming corrupt?

2017-10-21 05:47:56 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:48:04 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:48:40 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:49:02 UTC  

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.

2017-10-21 05:49:15 UTC  

Think less religious worship and more community gathering I think

2017-10-21 05:49:24 UTC  

That family then feels an obligation to contribute in the future

2017-10-21 05:50:08 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:50:45 UTC  

This community is open to all western faiths right?

2017-10-21 05:50:55 UTC  

yes

2017-10-21 05:50:58 UTC  

So it would be nondemonitainally Christian?

2017-10-21 05:51:22 UTC  

That said, some Catholic monastic orders are comfy AF.

2017-10-21 05:51:25 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:52:30 UTC  

>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

2017-10-21 05:52:41 UTC  

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

2017-10-21 05:52:53 UTC  

How much land are we thinking of?

2017-10-21 05:53:00 UTC  

1000 Acres?

2017-10-21 05:53:04 UTC  

to start?

2017-10-21 05:53:06 UTC  

More is better
