I remember my grandpa told me about the time he worked on a government farm. This was probably about 1940 ,, the year my mom was born . Grandpa got out of the Army in 1939. Stationed in Pearl Harbor. He said the gov gave him a 1 room shack of a house , that my Mom was born in , a small barn where he kept a milk cow , a small plot of land for a garden,, and he worked the fields of the government farm. Said he worked 6 days a week,, 10 hours a day , for 10 cents an hour. Said every other weekend, he would walk to town and buy a steak that him and my grandmother would split. I'm guessing this was how you earned your welfare back then. But it supplied him till he could build up and do better.
It seems T5R is offering about the same ,, maybe a little better. But theres nothing wrong with this opportunity , as I see it. It may not go over well with today's snot nosed brats ,, but it's a far better opportunity than what some of those brats are going to ,, because most of them aren't really willing to work themselves up the ladder ,, they're wanting to ride the elevator to the top , and start there.
Me being a single man , and not needing a whole lot ,, I might could handle an opportunity like this ,, if it wasn't that I'm doing a little better where I'm at. But i could get by on what he's offering.

it was a different time with a different culture I suppose... many of our ancestors refused hand outs... they understood a thing...

TANSTAAFL... and they did not want to be beholdin to anyone... they knew ya had to work for what ya got...

nothing is free... it will cost you something ALWAYS...

I'm old and maybe out of touch a bit, but I wouldn't trust my sustenance to others.
It's good planning, but the human race can be awfully difficult and fickle.

You're a smart and industrious guy, you'll do well whatever you decide.
