You could always steal other people's rats.

You see, they have to steal each other rats. What else are they supposed to do? You gotta understand, they're from the hood. They ain't got no other options. /s
Seriously, can they not come together and build a single functional farm? Oh, that's right, people with "no options" would just rob it and burn it down. Damn, what a life...

When the white farmers where deported the farmland was given to friends of the ruler that knew jack shit about farming and didn't have the capital to run large corporate farms that where there before. These are the poor hardworking farmhands that where making a living working for wealthy white farmers that where making enough food to feed the country and export. Zimbawe is really a test bed for everything not to do from an economic standpoint assumptions about monetary policy and property distribution that where just assumed to be correct where proven correct by Zimbawe.
It's ok, the white farmers where given land in neighboring Nigeria where they created new farms and brought money and jobs to an impoverished reign, whitey always wins.
