A Million More Iowans--At A Profit
AT A PROFIT. Simon Conway This is only a thought to develop during Opus 53 but why not bring in a million new Iowans? Jim Rohret, Robert Cook. Jake Porter. Emulate the railroads who went overseas to get farmers. (All Iowa had been 'given' to the railroads as development, per map in 'Out of Revolution'). Technology from space work could help make EarthShip-like mostly self-sufficient homesteads. Add tiny home technology with greenhouses. education by internet, etc. Give 'David tax immunity' (one of his rewards for slaying Goliath, and surely this in a Goliath of a task!) for bringing in so many. People pay coyotes large sums to get here. These would not be welfarists. Add stuff from FDR's promotion of self-sufficient farmers ('Renegade History of United States'), etc.
These houses and a few acres would repopulate the countryside non-chemically. Much work remains--paying off those who've paid off the pols would be one tough thing.
@20 each per square mile, and Iowa's 50,000+ square miles, and we'd have a million.
This would be peace--explicit reconciliation of opposites.
Why stop at a million, why stop at Iowa? @95% of Wyoming is or should be open.
