The Amish Have It Figured Out

I've been driving out to Amish country quite a lot lately. The Amish are doing 1000 times better as a group than their white neighbors, or white people as a whole in the United States.

If you contrast an established "wealthy" Amish person with an established "wealthy" non-Amish white person you can see why.

The Amish person has a property with lots of productive, real assets, probably owns multiple businesses AND HAS ZERO DEBT. Most of their community is in the same situation. They have a functioning culture, functioning families, and a functioning community.

The established wealthy white person probably has as much at least as much debt as assets. Few of their assets are tangible or productive. Most are some corporate piece of paper. Their property is all really a liability, unless they can sell it on to a greater fool. They've just got a job for some dumb corporation. They might be a total non-productive functionary apparatchik who just shuffles paper around all day and have zero knowledge about anything.

The non-Amish white people were sold a new culture in the early 20th century and they didn't realize it really sucked. The corporate consumer culture is a never ending con game.
