Give us Boers the scrub brush country in Nevada the Fed Gov owns. It is damned similar to what we turned into Africa’s bread basket. We are a resilient people. Give us some bubble gum and baling wire and a hand drill and we will find water. Our irrigation techniques turn deserts lush. On top of that we love pickups, guns, our women are hot (and dress up to go to the grocery store), beer, braai (grilling), and you will find us on a pew every Sunday. We are the equal of US pioneers and not namby pamby soy boys.
PS. Don’t eat the food. It is so good you will regret every meal you have ever eaten.
PPS. If your son ever marries a Boere Meisie eat the food. You will be invited over for every Sunday dinner.
“On top of that we love pickups, guns, our women are hot...”
And you gave the world Biltong.

Sounds like people I’d want to hang out with.
Maybe some of you could, as a charity, go help out the poor wine growers in California, and teach them how to make wine that doesn’t taste as though it came from a chemical plant.
If it were up to me you’d already be here.
