god what an unimaginable dystopian hell. rather than just let their small towns rot alongside the people in them the government is forcing people to go and develop those areas with juicy incentives

How many leftists here in the West would cry to the high heavens if they were told to do this

    iirc I think Australia has some plan like this but foreign students trying to get a permanent visa or something have to spend 2 years in the farms, I'm probably misremembering it slightly; one of my old school teachers told the class about how she did it but later decided to return to live in Britain

    Yeah no it's entirely imaginable. I'm seeing plenty of western funny-clown-hammer leftists malding at being told they have to help Q-brainwormed meemaws and pawpawps tear out and replace their lead-painted drywall and plumbing all across america.
