It could have worked. Travelers normally suck all support and benefits government provides and live relatively care free life.
- hef19898 3y agoHave evwr seen how Beduins, and other nomads, live? Hardly comparable to our comfortable life style as full time employees im developed industrial nations... I am so tired of the "social welfare queen" trope paraded around to argue against the poor and otherwise perceived minorities.
- nixass 3y agoI am more referring to mainland Europe and Irish/British travelers, should've pointed that out
- hef19898 3y agoAnd I didn't limit my argument in any way, explicitely I include travellers in developed nations too.
- detourdog 3y agoI was spending my summers in the Middle East during college. I would walk from historic locations to historic location. The bedouins in the Middle East have free rein to wander and they exist parallel to the modern world. I knew the desire was escapism. The Bedouins don't need the state they only need people to live by the code of the desert.
