This is kind of a “forest and trees” argument.

Similar rural settlements have been suggested in past for unemployable ex-convicts, older fourth world immigrants who do not grasp our technology at all, and those who are functionally retarded but able to do simpler tasks.

This just adds to that list people who are not retarded, but just cannot function in a more technological society.

The idea of farming and animal husbandry is solely that they can help to feed and partially clothe themselves. Anything beyond that is incidental, so it is not a great goal in and of itself.

The goal is that many of these people will lead better lives doing this than living in small, filthy, inner city projects apartments, doing nothing other than what they are told to do by government workers.

And at significantly lower costs in the long run.

You still didn’t answer my questions. That’s ok, I can tell what your answers would be.

Kindly do all rural folks a favor, stick to the concrete.
