Anyone heard this about the Amish?
🧠 These people are stupid!
They are Trump supporters- and this seems unbelievable !
The Amish generally avoid modern technology, including cell phones, but some Amish communities are slowly incorporating technology:
Old Order Amish This group strictly forbids cell phones and other modern technologies that they see as intrusive and too modern.
Other Amish communities Some Amish communities use phones with cords or a shared landline for emergencies. Amish business owners may use technology to sell products online or work with online stores.
Amish phone shanties Some Amish communities have phone shanty structures, also known as "Amish phone booths".
Cell phone use Some Amish people use cell phones, but they try to minimize the visibility of their use to show respect for their community's values.
Some Amish people are concerned about the effects of constant cell phone use, including: Isolation, Impatience, and Over-reliance on technology.
I love the Amish and Menonites, and we need to protect these cultures going into the future.
We as a species need to always have roots in an honest life on God's green earth.
If we don't have people choosing a life farming with real horse power while we have people mining ice on Pluto we've fucked up as a species.
One of my builders has a framing crew that is old order Amish. They use power tools. Says he couldnt frame houses and remain competitive if he had to hand cut lumber and bang nails with a hammer. I was just talking to him about it last Friday.
