Why is there such a weird cultural fixation on the Amish. I know that Amish Mafia sorta helped kill the gawking reality TV slop that was relentless for a while, but who really cares if these chucklefucks pack their bags and leave? There was news recently that there were two deaths out in Lancaster from Measles, if they weren't Amish I'd be surprised. Vaccines have been a thing for hundreds of years, we've just gotten better at making them so they're just making the decision that diseases killing their children is okay. I'm just so fucking sick and tired of all this health bullshit just running circles around the truth and in the end it's hurting real people and putting more vulnerable people at risk.
They have a lot of money and pay taxes without trying to shelter their money, a lot of non Amish people around their communities make a lot of money brokering Amish goods and services. The brokers and the state treasuries are the ones who are trying to retain the Amish and those are the kinds of people who can speak to the NY Post.
