I guess you missed the /s at the end of the post. In Indiana the Amish are widely accepted. They pay federal, state and local taxes just like everyone else...utilize little in the way of resources and normally generate revenues for the local municipalities.
As far as OTR drivers, I simply couldn't do it. Way too much government regulation and other BS. What I hear on the Midnight Trucker Show this current federal administration is making it even tougher.
they are making it near impossible for truckers/industry to survive. WELL over half a million truckers off the road since this bunch took over...
and literally thousands of trucking companies out of business. Gov't policies are designed to drive small companies out of business and independent owner/operators off the road - thereby concentrating trucking to a hand full of big companies - the easier for a government takeover. Now, a mantra of despots is: “Control the food, control the people.”
There is ONE days worth of food in the local supermarkets - AND warehouses. If the trucks don't roll?
Or if the trucks are controlled?
For the last 50-60 years, society as a whole, has, for the first time in history, become a dependent society...People have allowed themselves to become dependent on that thin wire from house to phone poll.
No longer independent - no longer producing any of their own food, tied to municipal services for water/sewer/power.
At the flick of an Executive Order - society is OWNED, lock, stock and food barrel.
Many people are able to read the writing on the wall and are growing gardens and making other self-sufficent moves. But that will hardly stem the tide for the majority.
It may be only little pockets of folk here and there that will able to ride out what is planned for us.
