Meh. If you're a one-horse town in the middle of god-forsaken nowhere, you take the industry that comes along or you die anyway. I sincerely doubt anyone but oil men and roughnecks are lining up to live in Almont, ND.

Boom/bust economies seem to work alright in west Texas. It's not exactly stable, but we've got cities and everything...

Farmers, ranchers, hunters, dog trainers, etc.

Boom bust economies in TX also have a lot more illegal mexican's involved.

In random other ND towns maybe, but apparently not Almont. Otherwise why would the school building in question have closed down for lack of children? Maybe it's off base, but the article doesn't describe Almont as a town with many, if any, other options.
