Owning land is more within reach than most young Americans realize.
Dr. Jill Malone says rural property is cheap, and remote work makes the move possible.
“Rural America right now is dying, and property is cheap.”
“You can go to West Virginia, even parts of rural Virginia, and pick up a house and 10 acres.”
“Starlink allows you to remote work.”
“You do not have to live in the city.”
“When you live in a rural community, you have an intentional community.”
“Buy the cruddy house, buy a house you can take a little loan on, pay it off rapidly, then you have all that equity.”

Of Ancient Greece Legacy
Western Civilization is but a series of sparks culled from the ancient Greek flame.

I asked 30 Japanese 12-year-olds one question.
"What do you think of when you hear 'America'?"
(My nephew's teacher let me visit his class. I was not prepared.)
"Hamburgers the size of my head."
"Everything is big. Even the milk."
"Cowboys." Then a boy asked me, "Do cowboys still exist?"
I said yes.
The whole class cheered.
"They went to the moon."
I told them only Americans have ever walked on it.
The room went completely silent. Respect.
"The best baseball in the world. Even Ohtani had to go there."
"Superheroes. They all live in New York."
Then a quiet girl in the back raised her hand.
"My grandma says when the tsunami came, American soldiers came to help her town. She still has a photo with them on her fridge."
Nobody said anything for a while.
Then the teacher asked, "Who wants to go to America someday?"
Every hand went up.
Including the teacher's.
