    The Amish are not all that they’re cracked up to be. They’re fundamentalist religious extremists. Women and children have functionally no rights in Amish society, and the men give themselves permission to use whatever technologies they want for work.

    That’s not even getting into the animal abuse…

      Which lead to this weird situation of the Amish being some of the best solar installers in my area because they’ll run entire metal shops with it. Like, with proper industrial lasers, welder, brake presses, etc.
