      Community economics is the bread and butter of creating wealth among the entire populace. Not necessarily riches, just wealth. This is why people typically pay less for housing in housing coops, get more financial services for less with credit unions, and entire communities working as an economic unit can create wealth from small inputs, such as "Black Wall Street" in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When workers shop local, those business owners spend their money locally, and a self reinforcing cycle continues. Much of America's wealth is being drained into the Hamptons by companies like Walmart, Amazon, Dollar General, etc. This isn't to say that the money can't flow there eventually, it's just that it is not getting time to circulate before ending up there, like an area that receives plenty of rainfall but does not capture it and let it soak in the soil, so the plants remain starved of water despite getting what should be adequate rainfall.

      And as the video said:
      "Humble Leadership."
      Greed, Dishonesty, and Head Games are usually something that the Amish would banish people for.

      The Amish are exploited by Marxists as an example of socialism.
      However, the Amish are the antithesis of leftism.
      Each family is an independent self determining unit, and communities are run democratically, not by some ideological a-holes who want you to give them all your money because they know how to spend it fairer.

      would you prefer the communal hierarchy within Papua New Guinea or Australian Aboriginal tribes, as supportive of socialism?
      Either of which is not socialism at all. If it was, then neighboring tribes would have seen the benefits of ever large cooperative groups.....but they didn't. They continued to war with each other. Socialism's failure is due to homo sapien sapien's inability to care equally for individuals within groups larger than 30-50, as smaller. And we see that in advanced economies. The larger the group of people govt is responsible for, the less efficient govt is at measuring relative need.

Of ALL the Christian religions, though, the Amish are probably most closely aligned with the actual teachings of Christ: simplicity, pacifism, personal responsibility and hard work, generosity, concern for community, devotion to family. As an offshoot of the Anabaptists (which means NOT Baptists), they are decidedly loathe to proselytize, believing that one's relationship to God is a personal matter.

    I worked at a lumber mill years ago and we had a few Amish guys that worked there. Every so often, their wives would send them in with donuts for everybody. They were the best donuts I think I've ever had, but each one was probably 5,000 calories. The Amish work their asses off. They need those calories. I just got fat. :)

The women just take it becuz all of Amish prayer is demonizing the outer world becuz their Swiss-american ancestors were actually killed and persecuted 100s years ago. Hence they believe it’s worse to go to a police and report crimes from their community, becuz outside world = evil.

      Its because they live in relatively isolated communities. Like here in Canada the virus spread most quickly along the coasts and in the largest province Ontario. There are far less people in the Prairies and far less people travel there from abroad. Like in B.C., Quebec and Ontario there were like between 100 to 300 new cases a day. In each province in the Prairies pit was just a dozen or so a day. However now in B.C., Ontario and Quebec its going up to several thousand new cases a day while in the Prairies its going up to several hundred a day (I dom't know how the Territories or the Maritimes are faring.)

      Amish people don't cook with ingredients of any higher quality than anyone else as a rule. They shop in bulk at Aldi near me for sugar and flour and eggs and that's what they're baking with. The same stuff you are. Some also smoke heavily and don't take care of their teeth. Some look for any way they can to get around their religious restrictions just like other orthodox groups tend to do. Some are also known to treat their livestock horribly . Seriously, anyone who "loves the Amish lifestyle" is thinking of an idealized version of reality. They're just people. They're no purer or better or harder working than any other group in general. If they didn't have such "quaint" clothing and horse drawn buggies, you'd think of them differently. You'd see they're people plain and simple some of whom are kind and some are not. Some are friendly and some are not. Some are healthy and some are not.
